Brenda Weitzberg of the Jewish Council for Youth Services, (JCYS) points out that “many of our community’s children may remember learning how to swim at the Elms Swim Club at Half Day Road between Route 41 and Summit Ave. in HP. Six years ago, after several years of renting the pool for its camp swim programs, JCYS (which runs the Lutz Center at 800 Clavey Road, 847-433-6003) took over the site when <strong>The</strong> Elms ceased operations. Renamed in honor of Max Davidson (who overcame polio as a child and went on to become a state tennis champion), the center continues to provide daily swim lessons to campers from JCYS Sunflower and North Shore Day Camps, while also providing a home for “NSDC Sports,” a dynamic three-year-old sports camp. In addition to these camp programs, “<strong>The</strong> Max” with its new sport courts, renovated tennis courts and large and small pools, offers our community’s families a relaxing, child-friendly place to “hang out” with family and friends. In addition to swim and tennis lessons, this summer they will be offering “after-camp fun,” Mah Jongg, a 3-on-3 basketball tournament, “Grandparent and Me” days, babysitting nights, a July 4th Bar-B-Q and Movie Nights. <strong>The</strong> 12 / Summer 2007 PHOTO: JCYS Max’s Site Manager Terry Grossberg brings 21 years experience working with children as a music educator in the Deerfield schools. Registration for these programs has begun so please contact Terry at 847-433-6001, or email him at tgrossberg@jcys.<strong>org</strong>. Who says there’s no romance in the suburbs? Single people looking for a committed relationship have a cozy, local alternative to nationwide database services, thanks to Debra Weinberg. Priceless Introductions brings the art of oldfashioned matchmaking to the North Shore. This service is personal and discreet. Debra meets with potential clients for one or two hours to get to know them and to see if there is a “natural fit” with another client. She matches people who have similar backgrounds and values, along with shared relationship goals, without their having to expose personal details on the Internet. Privacy is protected, and surprises—bad news in the world of dating—are eliminated. “When I meet each client, I am basically going out for the first date on your behalf!” explains Debra. “If I would not be happy about a second date with this person, you won’t have a first date!” she adds. “Understanding community standards and social conventions in Chicago and on the North Shore means introducing people who belong together. This is not a dating service, it’s for finding an exclusive relationship.” Saving her clients from having to perform their own timeconsuming searches and multiple e-mail exchanges, Debra finds sophisticated people, makes matches and even handles the dinner reservations. “All you have to do is show up, look your best and have fun. Trust me! This is the classy way to get together!” Debra can be reached by phone at 312-265-5000, or visit www.pricelessintroductions.com.
