Annual Report - Tucson Jewish Community Center

Children & Youth
Catering & Rentals
The number of events and revenue totals increased and we welcomed a number of new clients
to our facility due in part to a new part-time outside sales coordinator. This person focused on
representing the JCC at various networking events and increasing our profile throughout Tucson.
We created a new marketing sales piece that was widely distributed at all the networking events we
attended. The Media Arts Center continued to be a great sales generator with many corporate and
private groups renting our Ballroom to use the state-of-the-art equipment.
The Children and Youth department exceeded budget
projections for 2011. We saw most of the higher
unit numbers with grades K-2 (ages 5-7), which is
encouraging for future growth.
Camp “J” continues to grow with an increase in total
numbers. For the first time, we reached over 100
children in the Camp Shalom program for grades
K-2. Overall, our increase was more than 15% of our
2011 projections. Part of the success of Camp “J” is the
return of nearly 85% of staff members from previous
years, whose enthusiasm, creativity and genuine
passion adds to the overall positive environment.
J-Care continues its upward slope of increasing
numbers. J-Care currently services 27 schools.
