The JCC recently celebrated its 60th anniversary, said Karen Kolodny, the executive director.

Among the many accomplishments of 2015, she said, was the hiring of Caryn Symons as director of its nursery school in the Early Childhood Center.

Kolodny also pointed to programs for adults and the center's current event series, which featured lectures by political strategists like Ambassador Dennis Ross, philanthropists, and Seth “Yossi” Siegel, a businessman and the author of “Let there be Water: Israel’s Solution for a Water-Starved World.”

BBYO teens were enlightened, Kolodny said, by the stories of a Holocaust survivor during a Shabbat pot luck dinner.

Seniors participated in intellectually stimulating programs that also offered social interactions, she said.

The adult volunteer program also grew in 2015, the JCC said.
