JewEL’s January 2016 Happy Hour was another hit with more than 100 people in attendance, including more than 20 brand new people. JewEL hosted its monthly happy hour at Bulgarian Tapas restaurant, Forte Tapas, on January 20^th from 7-9pm. Attendees enjoyed a complimentary beverage, delicious appetizers, and a fun atmosphere. “This was one of the best happy hours yet,” noted Jen Specter, JewEL Co-Chair. “The food and drinks were delicious, the venue was perfect, and it was a great opportunity to see my friends and meet new people. We had over 20 people attend this Happy Hour that had never been to a JewEL event before.”

The JewEL Board has also instituted a new education piece at Happy Hour each month. Each month’s happy hour focuses on educating JewEL members about the various agencies and organizations that the Federation supports. January's Happy Hour supported Las Vegas Senior Lifeline and raised more than $700 to benefit LVSLL. JewEL’s monthly happy hours continue to attract over 100 attendees, including many new young Jewish professionals each month. “Each month our Happy Hours continue to grow and attract more young Jewish adults,” noted Steinberg. “And after each one, everyone is already looking forward to next months!”
