Looking like they’re ready to head off on safari are Mega Event goers (l to r) Kathy Barkin, Ana White, Cyvia Eldrich, Fran Ponchik and Susan Skope.

On Sunday, Oct. 27, the Jewish Federation of Greater New Haven kicked off the organization’s 2020 Annual Campaign by hosting a “Mega Event” featuring entertainment by world-famous impersonators The Edwards Twins. Among the many dignitaries and community leaders gathered in the sold out Vine Family Auditorium of the JCC of Greater New Haven was Minority House Leader Rep Themis Klarides. Funds raised at the Mega Event benefit the Federation’s $2.5 million Annual Campaign, which support Jewish education, senior and social services, and organizations that serve local community needs. Funds also support social causes in Israel and reach Jewish communities around the globe.
