Greenwood House Celebrates “The Committee of Twenty” with Lunch and Fashion Show October 24

Princeton, NJ, October 14, 2013:    Nearly 40 years ago, twenty philanthropic women joined together to raise funds for Greenwood House, a nonprofit, nonsectarian organization providing care and services to seniors and their loved ones.   While the term “fashionista” might not have existed in 1974, these were women of style and grace who worked to raise awareness and funds for Greenwood House.

History is repeating itself with a modern interpretation, as a new team of women are coming together to present “Friendship and Fashion”, an exclusive event to be held at the prestigious private club, Jasna Polana in Princeton.  As Greenwood House celebrates 75 years of caring for local seniors and their families, the 2013 committee has created an exceptional afternoon of fashion and fundraising, not unlike their predecessors.  The celebration includes an elegant lunch, exclusive fashion show by Neiman Marcus of King of Prussia, and the chance to win a beautiful stole by Loro Piana and a Chanel handbag.

Greenwood House enjoys a heritage rich in strong women supporting their important mission.  More than a half century ago, the women of the Trenton Ladies Sick Benefit Society, a charitable and humanitarian organization, recognized the need in the community for a Home for elderly Jewish people who required medical, nursing and personal care in a secure environment. In 1939, they purchased and renovated a spacious home on Greenwood Avenue and named the facility the Home for the Aged Sons and Daughters of Israel.  In 1974 the organization was renamed Greenwood House, Home for the Jewish Aged and was relocated to its present location in Ewing Township.

The private luncheon is on Thursday October 24, 2013 at 11:15am.  Tickets and more information may be found at www.greenwoodhouse.org
