COS hosts a community showcase for special occasions

For those who are beginning to make plans for a special occasion, such as a bar/bat mitzvah or a wedding in the near future, Congregation Ohev Shalom will host EVENTful Moments, a one-stop showcase for the Orlando community featuring Central Florida's top caterers, DJs, florists, photographers and videographers, invitation specialists, and event planners, all under one roof.

The event will be held on Sunday, Jan. 12, from 2-5 p.m. in Congregation Ohev Shalom's ballroom and will include food samples from some of the finest caterers in town, a free family photo with KoPIXmo, entertainment by four DJs, a raffle and auction. Also planned is a couture fashion show by The Collection of Winter Park, including bat mitzvah and party dresses, as well as select bridal fashions.

"We thought it would be a great idea to have our own showcase, not only for bar/bat mitzvah families, but also for brides. It gives everyone in the community an opportunity to see the great talent and vendors Orlando has to offer," said Joy Bochner, event co-chairwoman.

Admission is $5 per person, and is open to the community. For more information, please call Bochner at 407.491.1638, or e-mail joyousb3@gmail.com.
