Three professionals will take you on a journey into the future...your future.

The Wonder of 'What's Next?'

Sylvia Brown, Marriage Family Therapist (MFT), will deal with questions such as:

• Am I too old to make a change in my life?
• Can I still find excitement and passion in my life?

• Is there fulfillment in my life and if not, when?
•
My Health – ‘What's Next?’

Maribel Mungia, Fitness Instructor, will talk about your health and fitness for the next
20-30 years. Maribel will address questions like:

What a great event!!! I want to thank our hosts Esther, Eunice and Carol. Also there were many helping to set-up and clean-up and I want to thank all of you for your help.

For without the group there would be no group. This entity we have created is mushrooming because of all of you. Without your spiritual support, your help with marketing, your ideas and follow-through, this event would not have taken place.
On behalf of the Board of Directors of “The-J”, Scott and myself, we thank you all.

So we came, we ate (good appetizers, too much cake for me), we played some mixer games(thank you Bruce for giving this event life and direction), ate some more and then just hung out and talked.

The energy level was high and if you put a few ounces of yourself into the day I think you came away with much much more.

There is a saying “the more you give the more you get”. That is so true! In life when you step outside your comfort zone, when you move to those areas that make you feel a bit uneasy, only then does the light that shines within each of us shine the brightest.

I have attended groups and meetings and each time I sit back and said “what are they going to do for me” or “what will I get out this event” the more I got LESS!!!!

One of the goals of this group is to also give back (Tikkun Olam) to the community. In fact it is one of the main purposes of “The-J”. We have talked about that in our initial meetings and I hope that in the near future we can plan an event or activity that will help repair the community.

I would like to extend an invitation to all of you to come to the Karaoke night (whether you sing or not :)). There will be a flyer coming out soon.

Lastly if anyone can help with the web site, flyers, advertising please let me know. Sending me places to advertise helps build a good network. I need YOU to take the ball and/or flyer and run with it. The reason we are successful is because of.....YOU!!

Singles at 7

Well we are having a marvelous response to our next event. We have over 30 people registered and it has all been the group doing the work...good job group!

We are a group of 50+ singles looking to meet new singles, share some fun times, create new friendships and provide a place where singles will feel comfortable and secure. The group plans all the activities themselves.

We are having a Karaoke Night in late may early June. We will have our own Karaoke DJ, some drinks, dinner and lots of laughs.

Then we are off to the Hollywood Bowl followed by "A Day in LA".

Want to participate? Just call us at 360-2211 or email us at nvjcc@yahoo.com or look on our website nvjcc.org.

Come play at the J.....stay and have fun with Singles at 7...

The Light Shines

"You can live 70 years in one day or one day in 70 years?" Which do you want to do.

Awaken your spiritually and join us in Tikkun Olam.

Everyone has this light inside of them. Most of us, including me, tend to cover it up and never let it out. When "I" do I tend to be a happier person. One that gives back....one that shares from my soul...one that cares.

I hope some of you that read this blog will join us in bringing back the light to NVJCC or "The-J". Help us move our vision (that you will make your vision) along a path of excitement, joy and happiness.

See you all soon.

57' Chevy

Do you remember the 57' Chevy? With those fins that made it look like it could fly.

Our Center is older then that Chevy and though we can't fly we are in the midst of a great surge. We have some great people that helped start the Center, some 50 + years ago, and they join the fight once again. The are working to revitalize and help rebuild. Do you want to be a part of the new vision?

"Do you know a place where you met someone, laughed, danced, cried and after 50 years your friendship still thrieves?....Thanks Jewish Community Centers!"

Come join us....you will have a blast and it won't be from the past!

The-J Your Jewish Community Center

Well I have done it! I created a blog.

I am the Executive Director of "The-J" Your Jewish Community Center and I want to let you all know what's been happening over the last few years with North Valley Jewish Community Center (NVJCC).

I'll start by giving a brief history.

NVJCC was created over 50 years ago. A group of dedicated people put their hearts, minds and money together and created one of the greatest JCC's in California. In fact they still are a part of the current Center, our Center without Walls. More on that later.

So we begin our journey. Look forward to hearing from past members, those interested in helping to resurrect our center and those just interested.
