Uncle Donny needs YOU
During calendar year 2011, twenty new member units joined the JCC. This took place during a period when we did not have the use of our building, and we were the wandering Jews of LBI. Our JCC is a family, and as a family we must know each other. We do this by socializing, praying, and working together. My message is directed to our new members, our long time members who have not participated very much in JCC activities, and of course to those of our family who have always been there to take charge of an activity or lend a helping hand.
Working together is one of the easiest and best ways to get to know each other. Our members, new and old, come from different walks of life, have different job or career histories, have participated in different volunteer activities, and have a variety of different areas of interest, experience, and knowledge. All of these are welcome at our JCC, and your input is needed and would be greatly appreciated.
The year 2012 in our new building will be an interesting and challenging one. It will also be difficult as we learn to deal with all aspects of the new facility, and we can use the help of everyone. Here is a PARTIAL LIST of some of our upcoming committees and activities with the names and phone numbers of the person in charge. In addition to this list, I am including other areas we must address in the coming year.
Everyone can be of help somewhere. Please call the contact person or the office and let us know your skills, interest and limitations. Getting involved and being a part of something is self rewarding, can give you a sense of accomplishment, and gives you the opportunity to work with and get to know your JCC family. So check this list, and anyplace where you can be of help, please call. As you can see, we also need legal, accounting, construction, insurance, and computer program advice. You don’t have to limit yourself to only one activity. Most of our active members are involved in many of our programs.
