Welcome to the JCC.  We invite those of you who have been a part of the JCC experience to continue to enjoy our incredibly diverse programs available to people of all ages. Newcomers will quickly learn why so many believe the JCC is a “hidden jewel” among service providers in the rivertown communities.

We have aligned ourselves with the core goal of UJA-Federation of New York in building a caring and compassionate community. Therefore, this year we will make a concerted effort to engage our members and program participants, from our Early Childhood Program students to our active adults, in community service. Much of our programming will embrace the Jewish value of mitzvot, good deeds.

Needless to say, there is so much that the JCC community can do to help make the lives of others better. Food and clothing drives, the Gift of Chanukah, mentoring, friendly visits, volunteering at holiday celebrations, and providing needed scholarship support are just a few of the opportunities that can make a difference.

This past year, JCC members contributed $5,000 to the Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund. Early Childhood Program parents sponsored a Poker Night raising more than $7,000, and creating a sense of community through their efforts. The Annual Golf and Tennis Outing brought in over $17,000 in support of special needs scholarships for needy

families and programming for individuals with disabilities.
 

Too often, we ask the question, “What can one person do?” At the JCC the answer is simple, get involved and make a difference.

We hope you’ll be part of the JCC experience. We look forward to sharing our success with you.
