Thank you to everyone who supported the Friends of the Center Dinner. That night we celebrated all of the champions of the MJCC, including our fantastic members who make this place so special. We were thrilled to host nearly 350 people to support our honoree, Steve “Rosy� Rosenberg, the Harry Glickman Scholar Athletes, the inductees of the Oregon Jewish Sports Hall of Fame, and the crucial place that the MJCC serves in our community today.

All of us at the MJCC were truly humbled by the generosity of our donors that night and want to express our sincerest thanks for their support of our organization. Thank you.

GYM HOCKEY

Gym Hockey is played in the gym using plastic sticks, a felt puck and sneakers. Friendly pick-up games offered twice a week and open to adults of all ages.

Gym hockey has all the passing and team work of hockey but without the danger. There is no contact (no checking) and the sticks and pucks won’t hurt you.
