Summer, Spring, Winter, Fall. An entire year of the CLLD program is behind us. Happy Anniversary!

We are eager to celebrate this milestone with you, so please save the date: April 23! We have so much

to be thankful for and so much to look forward to.

The Staff and Advisory Council have been busy working to assure that the requirements of the CLLD

grant are adhered to, while trying to meet the suggestions and requests of the CLLD participants. The

committees meet regularly and are an active part of the program. At the suggestion of the Fitness and

Wellness Committee, we are experimenting this coming session with open enrollment in all fitness classes.

We hope that this will allow more participants to take advantage of programs that are so essential to

our health. Thursday evening events and off site trips continue their success as fee based programs.

Some of the most popular classes are being repeated and expanded. Working together, we are exceeding

expectations and thank each and every one of you.

We also would like to remind every one that the voluntary contributions are what helps us move forward

with the quality, quantity and flexibility of the classes offered. Your continued support will assure that

this program moves forward and becomes more successful each session.

Celebrating the 1st CLLD Anniversary at

the Joan and Alan Bernikow Jewish Community Center

For those of you who have been part of CLLD since its beginning last spring, you have had many

opportunities to learn about all the myriad programs that the JCC offers its members. As a CLLD

member, whether you use the pool for a water aerobics class, "trek" through our Fitness Center or enjoy

dinner and then dance to the music of Frank Sinatra, you know that our modern facility is easy to

navigate and our staff is welcoming and eager to help.

If you would like to have full access to all the JCC has to offer seven days a week any time of day, stop

by the Membership Office and speak to Jill Gottlieb, our JCC Membership Director. She'll be happy to

explain your options and the benefits of becoming a platinum member at the JCC which include full use

of health and fitness facilities. Our Fitness Center boasts top-of-the-line equipment, trained and certified

staff and over 60 free weekly group exercise classes. We have an exquisite indoor pool and whirlpool

which is an excellent environment for training and rehabilitation. And our Summer Swim Club, which

opens Memorial Day weekend, provides a vacation environment right here on Staten Island.

Wishing you and your family a glorious spring and please, stay in touch,

Susan Sappin, JCC President David Sorkin, Executive Director

Social Service Programs at the JCC

The JCC functions as a human services agency committed to enhancing the physical, intellectual and

spiritual wellness of the individual, family and community. We provide health, cultural and educational

programs that serve the community at large, with special attention given to populations at risk. Among

the many programs the JCC administers are Case Management Services, which provide older home-

bound adults and their families a case manager to help navigate the maze of services to develop indi-

vidual care plans. We also offer Caregiver Services for adults caring for elderly spouses and parents

with physical or cognitive disorders as well as a program for Grandparents as Caregivers. Our Kosher

Meals on Wheels program delivers meals to the elderly homebound while providing vital help and

contact to these isolated individuals.

In addition to all these DFTA supported programs, the JCC provides services and programs for

over 30,000 individuals and supports over 600 young families on Staten Island with day care, after-

school care, tutoring and related services.

If you would like to contribute or support any of these vital services, please contact Kevin Brosnick,

Director of Individual Giving at 718.475.5256 or [email protected].
