Dear JCCNS Members, Supporters and Friends,
When you drive or walk up to the JCCNS these days, you can’t miss the excitement. The front of our building is under construction, and our entrance has been temporarily relocated — a visible sign of what happens when a connected community dreams big together.
When thinking about what to reflect on for our 2025 Annual Appeal, we were inspired by the idea that the JCCNS is both deeply rooted in tradition, and always growing forward.
ROOTS AND RENEWAL
Our ROOTS are the generations who built this community and space — one where everyone, regardless of age or background, feels they belong here, whether as part of our Early Childhood Program, our J Adventure and youth programs, our cultural programs, our aquatics programs and swim team, our various cultural and learning programs, or our fitness, sports and recreations programs. Together, we’ve built a legacy of connection, learning, and care. And our roots give us strength.
Now, our RENEWAL is taking shape before our eyes: we already have two beautiful new playgrounds for our children and guests to enjoy; we are underway with our new, more secure, and fully accessible entrance that will welcome everyone with open doors; we will be installing a new boiler that will keep our building warm and running efficiently; plus numerous other projects that are upcoming as a result of our successful Capital Campaign.
But the work of renewal goes beyond bricks and mortar. It lives in our everyday activities and programs that remind us why the JCCNS is the heart of our community.
As we build a stronger foundation for the future, we welcome your partnership and are grateful for your support. Please make your annual gift today and help ensure that the JCCNS remains a place where our shared roots grow into new possibilities.
Together, we can nurture the spirit of ROOTS AND RENEWAL for generations to come.
With deep gratitude,
Marty Schneer
