OLDER ADULTSText Box: The JCC’s program for men and women 60 years and older features a variety of physical, creative, social and intellectual activities and events with the opportunity to socialize and relax in congenial company. Our professional staff will provide support, information, resources and guidance through a person’s later years in response to the changing needs in one’s life. The Golden Years can truly be the best years of one’s life! Through our programs and satellite groups, we will challenge you to explore new fields and endeavors. All newcomers are welcome! Senior adult offerings include: exercise, health seminars, Discussion groups, Holocaust Survivors’ Group, trips, parties holiday celebrations. Due to a rise in costs and a decrease in outside funding, we are appealing to all of our older adults to become members of your JCC for a tax-deductible fee of $30. As you will note throughout the brochure, members will be paying a smaller fee for the upcoming activities. Certain group activities will be open to members only. Your assistance will help sustain, as well as enhance, our programs.
