WELCOME

Dear Friends, Happy summer! This continues to be a very exciting time at the MJCC for a number of reasons.

First, as I discussed in our Spring Program Guide, the MJCC is implementing a new strategic plan that has a significant focus on serving youth and young families. Our successful programs for children and families during the “Day for the J” and the community Yom Ha’Atzmaut celebration were great examples of the sort of family-focused events that we’ll be offering in the months ahead, especially as we continue to expand our PJ Library programming. You can pick-up a brochure about our new strategic plan in the lobby of the J, or find it online at oregonjcc.org/strategic-plan.

During the summer, we turn our attention to MJCC Summer Day Camp, and we’re delighted to present a camp program that is more varied, inclusive, and innovative than ever! Limited space remains for some ages during a few weeks, and you can register at oregonjcc.org/daycamp.

Second, we have begun the process of developing a new campus facilities plan. Our Design Team, consisting of a collaboration of Portland-based Opsis Architecture and Chicago-based 180 Studio, kicked off the process with on-campus discussions and workshops in January and March. These sessions allowed the Design Team to gather input from MJCC Board members, staff, and members, as well as the Portland Jewish Academy community. We look forward to sharing the completed plan with you in the early fall.

For hours, administrative office closures, and special class offerings on holiday dates, visit oregonjcc.org.

Finally, we are nearing the completion of a number of significant projects to upgrade our facility. The installation of the new building-wide control system is nearly finished and will enable us to control heating, cooling, pool temperatures, water temperatures, lighting, and more for the first time in a year and a half. Other projects, including significant upgrades to the audio-visual systems in the Stern Family Ballroom, heating/ventilation/air conditioning systems, public address system, perimeter fencing, parking lot, and security infrastructure have been completed recently or will be done soon. We appreciate your support and patience as these projects have been undertaken during the past six months or more.

Summer is the perfect time to try something new! Come by the J to explore a new class, try out new fitness equipment, launch a new workout program with a member of our training staff, learn a new sport (pickleball, anyone?) or make a new friend.

See you at the J!
