The Jewish Federation of Greater Binghamton will hold a virtual annual meeting on Wednesday, June 17, at 7 pm. The community is invited to attend. The Federation had planned to hold an ice cream social during the event, so the Federation suggests that those attending may want to prepare an ice cream dish to eat at home during the meeting. To receive a Zoom link to the event, e-mail Federation Executive Director Shelley Hubal at director@jfgb.org.

“This will be the first time I’ve led an annual meeting,” said Hubal, “and this was not how I had originally planned for it to take place. There are some difficulties holding virtual meetings, but I feel doing it this way makes it more accessible to everyone.”

Hubal noted, “This is a great opportunity for the community at large to see how the board functions. The Federation belongs to the community. We welcome your input and hope you can join us.”
