Dear Members of the Council of Fort Lauderdale Civic Associations,

Please join us as we celebrate the retirement of our beloved friend and colleague, Jorg Hruschka.

Jorg Hruschka Day
📅 Saturday, July 18, 2026

📍 ArtServe | 1330 E Sunrise Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304

This is a free, multi-organization community celebration honoring Jorg’s remarkable career, leadership, and friendship. Join us for an evening of music, food, beverages, memories, and a toast to Jorg’s next chapter.
