2011 Fall Guide JCC Baltimore by JCC of Greater Baltimore

FALL 2011

The Jewish Community Center, putting you at the center of everything this fall!

www.jcc.org

Dear Members, For each of us, the Jewish Community Center can mean something unique and different depending on our interests and needs. For some it is Camp or Early Childhood and the wonderful growth and learning opportunities provided. For others, it is a safe and wholesome environment for teens to socialize and to grow as leaders. Some rely on us to provide respite while we serve their disabled child. And for many, it is the chance to develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle by utilizing our fitness and wellness facilities and programs. Our ability to help our members meet these diverse needs has led us to develop a new branding concept entitled “Find Your Center”. Each of you can interpret this theme differently, but we believe you will find that the JCC fulfills a critical center in your lives. We continually strive to be a dynamic and relevant institution, which means always modifying and changing what we do. Over the past year, we have been working diligently on three new initiatives that will enable us to expand our services to our members and the community. They are: 1. Enhancing our effectiveness in providing quality Jewish Arts and Culture programming. 2. Positioning the JCC to be the “go to place” for wellness by evaluating our current services and understanding what new services we should be providing. 3. Developing opportunities to reach and serve individuals and families who live beyond the walls of our physical facilities. Over the next year, we plan to develop ideas for creative and dynamic opportunities in these three areas. If you have some thoughts about what we should be doing in Arts and Culture, Wellness and Outreach to Families, we would love to hear from you. You can email your ideas to info@jcc.org or use our suggestion box at the front desk. As always, we never want to take your loyalty to the JCC for granted and we are committed to do our utmost to serve the needs of you and your family. We wish all of you a healthy and happy new year. LaShanah Tova,

Louis “Buddy” Sapolsky

I Graduated from a Jewish Middle School and Thought I’d Have to Choose Between an Orthodox Education and Public School.

I Chose Cardin. Why? Cardin offers a “pluralistic Jewish education,” meaning one that doesn’t teach the tenets of one denomination over another, but embraces them all. It fits me and my family.
