Dear Patron:

When you step into the JCC

of Mid-Westchester, you'll

find a Center filled with your

neighbors, dedicated staff and

a wide array of year-round

programs, activities and special

events. Our JCC is a place

where families and individuals

come together for education, fun, fitness and socialization

in a safe and welcoming environment.

As many of you know, thanks to a fundraising initiative

by one of our loyal patrons, we have a new additional

dance studio that will house more dance programs and

movement and fitness classes. We are also proud of the

improvements that we have made in the facility itself:

new benches outside, better lighting, improved showers

and locker rooms, web-based communications for all

our patrons on large display screens throughout the

building, and an extensive upgrade to our website so

that everyone has easier access to our scheduled events,

classes, and news.

Our stellar programs in Early Childhood, Dance, Camps,

and the arts are growing. And we continue to offer

outstanding resources for those with

special needs, with extensive therapy

programs and innovative enrichment

opportunities. As a community center,

we take pride in the breadth and depth

of our services for everyone in the

community.

This year brings new programming

in collaboration with UJA’s Engage

Jewish Service Corp and the Israeli community in

Westchester, as well as multiple events with other JCCs,

UJA affiliates, local hospitals, regional organizations

and local private and public schools to benefit all family

members.

Come to the JCC or visit us online at jccmw.org and see

what we can offer you. Better still, drop by the offices and

let us know how we can include you in the conversation

that brings our community together.

Karen Kolodny Peter Rothschild

Executive Director President
