Around this time last year, the St. Paul JCC celebrated 50 years<br />
on St. Paul Avenue. This year, we begin building the framework<br />
for 50 more. On Wednesday, June 17 at 7 PM, join JCC<br />
community and staff members at our 85th Annual Meeting. The<br />
meeting will be part planning and part party, as we look back on<br />
all we’ve accomplished and look forward to all we’ve yet to do.<br />
Among other items of business, we’ll be welcoming a new group<br />
of Directors to serve on our Board. New members include<br />
Michelle Shaller, Susan Tervola, Joel Denenholz, and Zalman<br />
Bendet, with Laurie Goldfarb returning for a second term. Along<br />
with welcoming these bright minds to the Board, we’ll hear an<br />
update from current President of the Board Howard Orenstein.<br />
During his first year as President, Howard’s innovative vision<br />
has brought so much to our Center, and over the course of the<br />
following year, that vision will continue to guide us as we embark<br />
on exciting new projects.<br />
As Howard begins his second and final year as President, I would<br />
like to introduce our nominee for his successor: Bruce Fink,<br />
CEO of Ernest I. Fink Agency. During his time as a member of<br />
the Board, Bruce has shown an extraordinary passion for and<br />
dedication to our JCC that I know he will bring to his future role<br />
as President.<br />
Along with being a time of celebration, the Annual Meeting<br />
is also a time of gratitude, a time to thank all the amazing<br />
individuals and families who make the J possible through<br />
planned gifts to the JCC Endowment Fund. We truly would not<br />
be the J we are today without the continued support of the<br />
amazing members of our Generation to Generation Society. If<br />
you’re interested in joining this important group, please contact<br />
me. If you’re already a member, please join us for a special premeeting<br />
reception beginning at 6 PM.<br />
I’m beyond excited and honored to be able to share this amazing<br />
night of celebration with you all, as we come together at the<br />
2015 Annual Meeting to reflect on the past 50 years on St. Paul<br />
Avenue and to lay the foundation for 50 more.<br />
There’s something about this place.<br />
