Couple Holds Dinner to Thank Donors to Food Drive
By Christina Mayo Special to The Miami Herald January 5, 2012
For nine years in a row, Tania and Israel Lapciuc have opened their home and their hearts to thank donors for contributing to help seniors and others in need through the Milk and Honey Campaign organized by Jewish Community Services.
“From Generation to Generation” was the theme of the most recent reception dinner hosted by the Lapciucs at their Miami Beach home to honor those who donated to this fall’s campaign. More than 130 guests gathered for the evening, which also was a celebration of the 50th wedding anniversary of the generous hosts.
- Israel and Tania Lapciuc, with Miami-Dade Schools Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, recently hosted a party to celebrate donors who participated in a recent food drive for frail and needy seniors.
Miami-Dade Schools Superintendent Alberto Carvalho was a keynote speaker and there was a presentation of a Certificate of Appreciation to JCS Senior Resource Development Associate Marian Mendelsohn by the Miami Beach mayor and commissioners.
The Milk & Honey campaign is held each year during the Jewish New Year when volunteers deliver 500 holiday food baskets to elderly and frail older adults in Miami-Dade County. It is just one of the organization’s food distribution programs which include the JCS Kosher Food Bank, Meals on Wheels, five congregate meal sites and the similar Matzah Mitzvah & More food distribution campaign held in the spring.
