Dear Members

While the fiscal year 2014-15 has flown

by at the JCC, I have had the opportunity

to partner with an outstanding group of

professional staff and lay leaders and

we have accomplished many things:

We neared completion of our Agency’s

strategic plan for the next 3-5 years and

are starting to implement the board’s

directives. Camp Centerland was accepted

into the Harold Grinspoon Foundation’s

JCamp 180 program and a task force is

currently working on a strategic plan for

camp with our mentor from Grinspoon.

The completion of both strategic plans

is expected this fall and they will be

merged into one dynamic document and

implemented over the next 3 to 5 years.

Our JCC exceeded its budget for revenue

generation and profitability and we have

set an aggressive goal for the coming year.

We had a very successful second year

at our new Camp Centerland site.

Through the fabulous generosity of the

Irving Shuman family, we dedicated Camp

Centerland at the Irving M. Shuman

Campgrounds last June. As we begin

camp this year we have two new shelters,

one with real bathrooms and the other

out on sports field. Also on the sports

field campers have two solar powered

environmental toilets. The Rein Family

Amphitheater was completed and we

look forward to the concerts this summer

sponsored by the Rein family for the

entire community. The Gretchen S, Gross

Omanut (arts & crafts) center, which was

a gift of Gordy Gross in honor of my

birthday will be ready for use. There are

covered shelters on some boardwalk

activity sites in the woods. This season

Centerland is featuring new specialty

camps reflecting

current trends in

camping. Our JCC exceeded its budget for revenue generation and profitability and we have set an aggressive goal for the coming year.

Gretchen S. GrossPresident

Our NAEYC Early Childhood program at

the Holland building is fully enrolled and

we are looking for ways to increase our

exceptional program, perhaps offsite,

in the future to meet the demands of

our families and the expanding Buffalo

Niagara Medical Campus. Both Holland

and Getzville’s programs are participating

in the JCCA Sheva program, which strives

to raise the level of excellence in early

childhood education that involves

educators, families, and students.

While Jewish values are at the core of all

our programs, children of all backgrounds

are comfortable with the lessons which

are respectful of all traditions. This year

our Getzville center began a wonderful

partnership with Aspire; a program

including special needs children into

our regular education classes. It has

been very successful and we look

forward to many years of collaboration.

Getzville’s ECE program has begun the

process of NAEYC accreditation which will

enhance our already wonderful program.

Fitness and wellness have always been

important components of the JCC.

As a directive of the strategic plan and

in concert with trends in wellness we are

committed to maintaining state-of-the-

art equipment and programs as well as

finding ways to include our ever growing

senior population. We are very excited

to introduce Fit3D Pro Scanner

machines to the Holland and Benderson

Wellness programs. These machines,

which measure and transmit

confidential data, are expected to

revolutionize personal training at our

facilities. Our JCC has been at the

forefront of innovation for more than

six decades.

Our Cultural Arts department did very

well last year. The Jewish Repertory

Theatre had a terrific year which paired

artistic excellence with larger audiences

and we look forward to next year’s

wonderful productions. The Buffalo

International Jewish Film Festival

offered an outstanding selection of

Jewish related films and our Book and

Arts Fair hosted a series of outstanding

speakers.

Our future ability to provide programs

of excellence will depend upon our

fundraising success. Gordy and I hope

that many of you will join us in our

support for and appreciation of the good

work done by our JCC. Opportunities for

giving are available on our website and

through the Foundation for Jewish

Philanthropies. The entire JCC

Community will benefit for decades to

come with the generosity of its members.

I believe that our future is worthy of

the support of each and every one of

its members.

Sincerely,

Vision & Mission

In November, 2013 The Buffalo Jewish

Community received a comprehensive

report on demographic trends which

was compiled by a group from Brandeis

University. The report identified 5,770

Jewish households as defined in an

inclusive fashion. The community’s

size was measured as 12,050 Jewish

individuals including 9,800 Jewish adults

and 2,250 Jewish children (age 17 and

younger). Our median age is 60 years old,

62% of our households represent married

couples and 21% of us are interfaith

couples. Less than half of the children in

these households are attending Jewish

supplementary school. Roughly 65% of

households include at least one

synagogue member. 34% of households

are current dues-paying members of the

JCC. 73% of JCC member households

have no children.

There is much more information which we

have not included for the sake of brevity.

We encourage you to read the report

which is available from the Jewish

Federation. The information that can be

gleaned from this report directly relates

to the challenges facing your JCC. We are

a changing agency that reflects a

changing demographic in the American

and Western New York communities.

While your JCC has always been a

welcoming place to people of all faiths,

ethnicities and economic backgrounds,

embracing diversity and inclusion has

become a prime mission for your JCC.

When we speak of the JCC as a “center of

communities” we refer to communities

including swimmers and athletes,

children and adults, city dwellers and

suburbanites, rich and poor, gay and

straight, card players and Tai Chi

participants and many others. Our staff

understands that our members, our most

valuable asset, look very different

than they did 67 years ago when the

Delaware (now Holland Family Building)

opened. We comprehend that while the

Jewish mission of the agency is vital,

it must be incorporated in a manner that

is welcoming and enlightening for all of

our members, regardless of background.

When we teach about the Jewish holidays

we also share information about the

holidays celebrated by our non-Jewish

children. When the lobbies are decorated

with holiday displays we offer written

explanations about the holidays.

Our theatre and cultural arts programs

are presented in ways that are inclusive

while being centered around Jewish

culture, authors, composers and the like.

Our discussion groups for mature adults

now include topics that are of interest

to all seniors. Discussion leaders

include people from multiple faiths.

Respect, tolerance, inclusiveness and

diversity have been incorporated into

our mission and our vision. The JCC

Association, as part of its “Vision and

Statement of Principles for the 21st

Century” states that “The JCC clearly

both builds Jewish community,

and communities, while engaging actively

with the larger community around it,

bringing Jewish life, values, and culture to

the broader community”. We subscribe to

this principle.

We are a changing agency that reflects a changing demographic in the American and Western New York communities.

Fulfilling An Evolving Strategic Plan

Seven years ago, a plan was agreed upon

by the leaders of and major donors to the

JCC that foresaw changing demographics

and thus needs of the JCC membership.

The plan charged the leadership of the

agency with broad tasks that included

the following:

•Right-sizing and reducing the

operating footprint of the JCC.

•Containing and reducing the cost of

operating an agency with three sites,

more than 300 employees and an

operating plant that had become

the victim of deferred maintenance

and outdated and inefficient

mechanical systems.

•The consolidation of over-night

camping with Rochester JCC.

•Expansion of our membership base.

•Intensification and capacity-building

of revenue-producing programs.

•Converting decades of difficult

financial performance into a pattern

of better-than-breakeven years.

Your JCC has been successful on all of

these fronts. The Benderson Family

Building was reduced in size and every

square inch of the building is actively

used. Mechanical systems at both JCCs

have been replaced with energy-efficient

systems including rooftop solar panels,

new heating and cooling systems and

decentralized boilers for steam rooms,

hot water and heat. Our computer

systems are state-of-the-art.

Our membership management system is

new and we have new websites for the

agency and for individual programs.

We accept registrations on-line as well

as contributions, and messages and we

have reduced our printing budgets

substantially with email blasts, Facebook

postings and Twitter messages.

Our membership base has grown to

roughly 4,000 regular members and more

than 700 insurance sponsored members.

Early Childhood Education programming

at the Holland Family Building has

doubled in revenue over the past seven

years. Our Kids’ Place

after-school program

at that building has

also doubled.

Former under-utilized

space at Holland has

been rebuilt and now

accommodates more

members in more

classes in beautiful

space. Buffalo teens

now attend Camp

Seneca Lake and the

Lakeland property has

been sold. We have

reported solid

financial results.

For further

insights, see page

11 of this report.

The Benderson Family Building was reduced in size and every square inch of the building is actively used.

There is much more we need to

accomplish. We are currently building

out the new Camp Centerland on the

Irving M. Shuman Campgrounds adjacent

to the Benderson Family Building,

thanks to a $1,000,000 gift from the

Irving M. Shuman Family among others.

More than $2,000,000 has been invested

over the past three years to build

trails, shelters,rope courses, climbing

structures, bathrooms, tents and more.

This year our campers, who are expected

to number more than 500, will enjoy

new bathrooms, additional shelters,

and improved playing fields. The new

Gretchen S. Gross Omanut (Arts and

Crafts) Center, funded by Gordon Gross

in honor of his wife Gretchen S. Gross’s

special birthday will be dedicated and

open this summer.

We have continued to raise funds

for camp and for other JCC needs.

More than $2,000,000 has been raised

from major donors during the last two

years towards the camp project. In the

coming years it will be imperative that

we complete camp, build reserves and

establish endowments for such things

as scholarship for all of our programs,

buildings and operations. Every JCC

depends upon endowment income and

fundraising for capital projects as well

as current operations. Our “All for One”

Campaign has grown each of the past

three years and we expect to intensify

this campaign with the addition of a

full-time Development Director.

Every member, regardless of which

community they may come from, will need

to be engaged as donors and supporters.

Exceptional service, superior facilities and

programs and a welcoming atmosphere

will need to be recognized as reasons

for giving. A new culture of pro-active

giving rather than emergency appeals

will ensure our strong future. We will

continue to work closely with our

friends at the Foundation for Jewish

Philanthropies to develop campaigns

and engage donors.

Other strategic priorities have been

identified by our strategic planning

committees. A strategic plan for

Camp Centerland has been created

with funding from and assistance by

JCamp180, an arm of the Harold

Grinspoon Foundation. This plan will

become part of our overall strategic

plan for the JCC which will guide us over

the next few years. These plans will

incorporate priorities, needs, strategies

and opportunities as well as the

threats which we face from changing

demographics, capital depreciation,

Groups of volunteers and professionals have worked very hard, we are very grateful for their efforts.

competition and rapidly changing

technology. Groups of volunteers

and professionals have worked very

hard to assemble these plans and

we are very grateful for their efforts.

Priorities identified early-on include

maintaining strongly positive staff

morale, increasing our membership base,

intensifying our revenue stream from all

of our programs and developing new

and innovative streams of revenue

including philanthropy.

A Diverse

Agency

Earlier in this report we

highlighted examples of the

diversity of our membership.

This page will shine a

spotlight on some of our

diverse programming and

how it is evolving.

More than 1,500 people a day visit our buildings to improve their minds and bodies.

Fitness & Aquatics

The equipment which we purchased four and five years ago continues to represent the best that money can buy in fitness and wellness. Over the next few years we will begin to replace some of the machines that will require increasing amounts of repair. Collaborations with providers of programs such as Les Mills and Fit3D will continue to provide us with the latest techniques for maintainingstrong, balanced bodies. Wellness will become a larger component of what we offer our members as we incorporate nutrition and other elements of a well-balanced fitness and wellness

program.

Special needs populations including

those with MS and Parkinson’s disease

are served with special equipment at the

Benderson Family Building and we hope

to find additional grants to enable us

to expand this type of programming.

In the city, Fitness is ably overseen by

Bob Lajeunesse and by Dan Rohde in

the suburbs.

Aquatics, which is creatively directed by

Julie Kingsley in the suburbs and Eric

Poniatowski in the city will continue to

offer swim lessons to children and adults.

Camp will require additional pool time

as enrollment grows. Members and

others with special needs will be served

by programs such as Au-some Swimmers,

a program we designed with financial

assistance from the Doug Flutie

Foundation and a collaboration with a

group from Women’s and Children’s

Hospital, teaches children with Autism

to swim. Hydroriders and other

equipment will continue to provide

special programs for people who

benefit from in-water exercise and

therapy.

More than 1,500 people a day visit

our buildings to improve their minds

and bodies. They share meals at the

Meyers Family Tel Aviv Café, join swim

classes and exercise groups, and engage

personal trainers to help them achieve

superior results in shorter time frames.

For more than 60 years the JCC has

provided cultural arts programming with

a Jewish component to audiences of all

ages and backgrounds. Jordana Halpern,

Cultural Arts Director, has worked very

hard over the past few years encouraging

generous support for this programming

from a variety of government and private

funders. Your JCC sponsors a film festival,

book and arts fair, a repertory theatre,

musical concerts and more. Our hope is

to expand the musical offerings in the

summer by using our picturesque Rein

Family Amphitheater for a series of

summer concerts. We have collaborated

with the Theater of Youth to offer theater for young people

in our Maxine and Robert Sellers Theater. Our intent is to

continue to find collaborations which will increase the usage

of this worthy venue. Jordana Halpern has worked with a

great group of volunteers to provide us with professional-

quality programs and solid financial management.

For more than 60 years the JCC has provided cultural arts programming with a Jewish component to audiences of all ages and backgrounds.

Cultural Arts

Enrollment at our Holland Family Building

Early Childhood Program is at capacity.

The growth of this program reflects the

high quality of this NAYEC accredited

program, the state-of-the-art facilities and

the strong community which has evolved

at the urban location. Our Kids’ Place

program at that building continues to

thrive as well. Barbara Reden and

Christine Dusher continue to do an

excellent job. Our Benderson Family

Building Early Childhood and After-School

programs are operating at slightly

Early Childhood Education & Kids’ Place After-School

below capacity. Patty Tubin and her

staff are working hard to obtain NAYEC

accreditation which we believe will

bolster numbers for this fine program.

Although enrollment is down slightly

in our After-School program we are on

better financial footing after we

discontinued bussing students from

out-of-district. This well-run program will

continue to attract children who have a

need for after-school activities including

physical recreation, music lessons

and swimming instruction.

Camping

Lauren Klenosky, Director of Camp

Centerland along with Christine Dusher,

Assistant Camp Director, and others have

provided a steadily increasing number

of campers with an amazing offering of

summer activities as well as year-round

programs when school is not in session.

During the summer of 2014 Camp

Centerland provided 1,627 weeks of

camping, 110 more than the previous

year. This year we expect

Our intent is to strengthen and expand the exposure to Israeli culture and living...

Adult Services

Karla Wiseman has been offering

outstanding programming for our

adult community for more than 20 years.

Discussion groups, trips, outings, and

cultural programming have provided

our senior members with activities that

engage and enrich their lives. During the

past year we have expanded offerings to

our city members under the supervision

of volunteer extraordinaire Sheila

Shapiro. Dozens of discussion groups

at both buildings are appreciated by a

growing group of participants.

more than 400 children to enroll for

more weeks and partake in traditional

camp as well as more than a dozen

specialty camp offerings. A redesign of

our programming offerings is intended

to encourage each camper to enroll

for a greater number of weeks.

Israel programming will be expanded

through two shelichim (emissaries) from

Israel this year. Israeli music, sports,

dance and food will be important

elements at camp this summer.

Camp is expected to evolve as a major

contributor to the sustainability of the

JCC. It is viewed as a stage in the

relationship with our member families

that leads to life-long membership.

Israel Programming

Over the past two years we have had

the good fortune to have shared Lital

Liberty, from Herzliya, Israel as a Shlicha.

Community events such as Yom

Haatzmaut, classes teaching about Israeli

cuisine and work with members of all ages

has been engaging and enlightening for

those who participated. Our intent is to

strengthen and expand the exposure to

Israeli culture and living through music in

our lobbies, art on our walls, lectures in

our auditorium and work with our

children. We have sent staff to Israel

on trips that were heavily subsidized to

obtain training and information that

will be used to strengthen our JCC’s

connection to the land and people of

Israel. Collaborations with the Jewish

Federation of Greater Buffalo have

been instrumental in our ability to

provide programming and training in

each of these Israel-centered areas.

Feedback from our staff that was

obtained from the Benchmarking Report

from the JCC Association told us that

our staff desires professional training

opportunities. In response to that

request Assistant Executive Director,

Patty Simonson and Human Resource

Director, Pam Marin coordinated efforts

which led us to provide the following

as part of our efforts to fill this need:

•Eight staff members were sent to the

JCCA Professional Conference for a 4

day symposium where best practices

of JCCs were shared.

•One staff member was sent to Disney

Training to learn about best practices

in the area of customer service.

•Two Department Heads from Early

Childhood were sent to Israel to

continue their participation in the Sheva

training program which incorporates

Jewish ethical values and knowledge in

Early Childhood Education curriculum.

•Training sessions were conducted in the

areas of Membership, Fitness, Aquatics,

Camping and Data Processing.

•Other JCCs were visited to learn about

new systems, successful practices and

membership management systems.

•Consultants from other JCCs helped

us with the design of camp in

collaboration with staff leadership.

•National conferences were attended

by staff from Cultural Arts, Camping,

Early Childhood and Fitness.

Our Volunteer base was expanded with

the addition of volunteers who provided

us with hundreds of hours of assistance

and guidance. Our Board engaged in long

sessions related to our strategic planning

processes alongside volunteers with

strong knowledge bases and experiences.

Cultural Arts received vital help with

volunteer ushers, selection committees,

event taskforces, marketing groups

and more. Board committees included

Governance, Finance, Personnel, Strategic

Planning, Audit, Special Event and more. 9

Volunteerism / Staff Development

It is believed thatmany tens of thousands of dollars of value is provided by our volunteers.

While the monetary value of volunteer

work is not reflected in our budget, it is

believed that many tens of thousands

of dollars of value is provided by our

volunteers. We are very grateful for

their efforts and for the outstanding

outcomes from these endeavors.

The streamlined nature of our staff

structure has redefined the way we utilize

volunteers. In past decades the JCC

employed a Volunteer Coordinator who

organized volunteers for a multitude of

tasks. Without staff to manage volunteer

efforts we have limited the number of

volunteer activities which we can support.

Our focus has been on specific tasks for

a limited number of activities that can

productively utilize the help that is so

generously offered.

10

Marketing & Membership

The plethora of new methods of

marketing continues to provide us with

new and cost-efficient methods of getting

our programs and services to prospective

members as well as current members.

In recent years Marketing Director, Laurie

Greenspan has greatly expanded our use

of Facebook and Twitter to promote the

JCC as a whole and in part. User groups

include Fitness and Aquatics classes,

Cultural Arts, Camping and new groups

as they form. Email blasts concerning

schedules, closings, special events, items

related to the larger Jewish world,

wellness ideas and other topics are a

regular occurrence. As the cost of print

and traditional electronic media continue

to rise and as our market demographics

shift we have attempted to make our

marketing dollars aim at targeted

audiences. We have adopted the JCC

Association’s new branding which you will

see with greater frequency in the coming

months. This new branding adopts an

Israeli color palate, a single “J” as part

of our brand and sound bites developed

with focus groups by nationally

prominent-marketing consultants.

Laurie Greenspan and Troy Frymire

Strategic planning processes are clarifying the paths that are expected to help us compete over the next few years.

continue to excel at providing leadership

for our marketing efforts. Their work is

evident in this report.

Membership recruitment and retention

have been challenged by increased

competition from other non-profits,

for-profit fitness facilities, new swim

alternatives aimed at high school aged

children, new early childhood programs

and more. While we have always faced

competition, we believe that our once

niche markets have been entered by an

increasing number of competitors.

Competition is addressed on a daily basis

and our strategic planning processes are

clarifying the paths that are expected to

help us compete over the next few years.

The impact of this new competition can

be felt in all areas of our agency.

Our response will be to emphasize those

programs which we do best, to stay

competitive in facilities and equipment

and to never rest on our laurels.

Complacency has no place at our JCC.

Membership Director, Sharon Kostiner

does an outstanding job leading her cadre

of membership staff who greet our

members and prospective members

with enthusiasm and positive attitudes.

Financial Report

Three out of the past four years have ended with operating surpluses.

11

Under the careful stewardship of CFO, Phil

Zuccaro, in the fiscal year ending March 31,

2015 the JCC achieved an operating surplus

which was a significant improvement over

the prior year when we reported a very

small operating loss and our budget which

was projected at a break-even level. Three

out of the past four years have ended with

operating surpluses, which is very much in

line with most JCCs and other not-for-profit

agencies. Accordingly, the Board

authorized a matching contribution to our

employee 401(k) Retirement plan of 100%

of the first 3% of employee contributions.

This past year also witnessed the final

repayment of a bank loan which financed

the equipment purchase made five years

ago at the Holland Family Building.

We managed to complete the past few

years without utilizing funds that were

made available for a transitional period

from our difficult days.

We continue to exercise extreme caution

when we consider potential expenditures.

Price comparisons are the norm when

decisions to spend funds are made and

thought is given to the allocation of our

resources. Our focus is on revenue

enhancement and growth of current

programs, where possible. Cost-effective

collaborations, partnerships with sister

agencies and streamlining of operations

will continue to be our norm.

One of the imperatives that we understand

is that we must intensify fundraising and

endowment development. We will

continue to encourage our members to

contribute to our operations on an annual

basis and to remember us in their estate

and financial planning. A multitude of

options are available for members who may

wish to receive current tax benefits and

income, while providing a strong future

for the JCC. For further information call
