Meet the Co-Chairs of Celebrate Israel @ 75

Tracy and Michael Askotzky split their time between Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and North Naples seasonally.  They raised three lovely girls and have two grandsons.  Tracy enjoys Mah Jongg, biking, needlepoint, reading and has volunteered for The Naples Jewish Book Fair. Michael is an avid bike rider, golfer and plays tennis too. They both participate in MCA and WCA events and enjoy being active in both communities.

We are proud to Co-Chair this event along with our good friends Cathy and Phil Zacks as we celebrate Israel's 75th Anniversary.

 

Cathy and Phil have been retired for the past 13 years. We spend winters in Bonita Springs and summers in Erie, Pennsylvania.  We worked together in a family business.  We were both on the board of our local federation. We both enjoy kayaking and biking with WCA and MCA. Phil loves sailing and skiing and he works with metal-fixes cars and does home repairs. Cathy is a swimmer and amateur artist. We have 4 children with wonderful senses of humor, 3 fabulous daughters-in-law, and 5 adventurous grandchildren.  We are excited to be working with Tracy and Mike on the 75th Israeli anniversary!
