For our youth By Jessica Zimmerman, Associate Regional Dir., North Florida Region

S

halom Naples families! We hope you are staying safe. BBYO Naples has hosted some fun and inclusive programming over the past couple of months. In October, Negev AZA went mini-golfing at Coral Cay Adventure Golf. In November, teens gathered virtually to take part in the Water Quality webinar hosted by the Sustainability Task Force of Temple Shalom’s Tikkun Olam Council. Naples BBYO also participated in Fall Con, North Florida Region’s first convention of the year, which was done both virtually and in person. We engaged nearly 50 teens throughout North Florida Region. BBYO CEO Matt Grossman, recently penned a letter about BBYO leadership to college admissions departments throughout the country. If you’d like to read the letter from Grossman, visit bit. ly/bbyocollege. If you’d like additional information about future in-person and virtual events, please connect directly with our staff in Naples — Jess Zimmerman, Associate Regional Director, North Florida Region. Email her at jesszimmerman@bbyo.org or call and/or text her at 941-677-3018.

We hope to see you soon! Stay safe, from your friends at Naples BBYO. P. S . We a r e actively searching for volunteer chapter advisors in Naples. The Jessica position requires Zimmerman about 8-10 hours a month and the benefits are far too many to list. If interested, please visit https://bbyo.org/get-involved/becomean-advisor.
