Thank you to everyone who supported us during our “Day for the J” last June! As a not-for-profit, the MJCC depends on generous donations from our members. Membership dues and program fees do not cover our operating expenses. This year, we are excited to announce that, rather than hosting a major fundraising event, every donation will go directly to supporting our programs and services. Our new Friends of the Center Society is the keystone to our Annual Campaign, and you’ll be hearing about it throughout the fall.

We are very excited about our Arts + Culture lineup for the fall. Two highlights are our presentation of the film, “In the Shoes of Sholom Aleichem,” a film about the life of Theo Bikel, and a talk by author Jamie Bernstein, daughter of Leonard Bernstein. This year, our author series and film series will be spread throughout the year, rather than being confined to a single month, allowing a broader range of programming every month! We’re also excited to announce a new partnership with the Jewish Federation of Greater Portland to offer our young adult outdoor program series, and we are reinvigorating our community celebration of Sukkot with a brand new sukkah!

Our great array of fitness, aquatics, sports, and recreation offerings is being supplemented with several special, new programs. First, we’re pleased to offer “Wise Aging,” taught by Christine Gilmore and Naomi Harwin, and made possible by a grant from the Holzman Foundation. This national program is based on a book entitled Wise Aging, Living with Joy, Resilience, and Spirit, and is for those ages 55 and over. More information on this program is on page 9.

Second, “Find Your Future” is a new offering for middle and high school students. Taught by Tina-Marie Baskin, and made possible by a grant from the Harold and Arlene Schnitzer CARE Foundation, this program will teach organization and life skills that will help them be successful as they move into young adulthood. More information can be found on page 8.

Finally, “Transition into Retirement” is a workshop offered by Laurie Ziegler, Retirement Coach, which explores the stages we experience during life changes, especially retirement. Learn new information, share ideas, and connect with others as you are entering the next stage of your life.

Please plan to join us for these programs and more!

Warm regards,

Steve Albert Executive Director

Aquatics FAQs My child can swim. Why do they have to take a swim test?

Believe it or not, there are multiple answers.

In competition swimming, the “mile” event is 1,650 yards. A true mile is 1,760 yards. So, depending on how ambitious you feel, you can swim 1,650 (66 lengths) or you can swim 1,760 (about 71 lengths).

Why is glass not allowed on the pool deck?

MJCC Info

Early afternoons and late evenings are the quietest times in both pools. This isn’t always the case as seasonal schedules, programs, and offerings can vary. The best way to find pool availability is to check our schedule, either online or at the MJCC, for the most up-todate information. While many swimmers may prefer to have their own lane, sharing lanes is expected of all lap swimmers. If you need help finding an appropriate lane, our lifeguarding staff is happy to assist.

Support

What is the quietest time of day?

Childcare

First, broken glass on the pool deck has the potential to cause serious injuries. Second, when broken glass enters the pool, it becomes nearly invisible, adding further risk of injury.

Some glass particles do not sink in water, and could be ingested by swimmers. To clear the pool of broken glass, it must be completely drained, cleaned, and refilled – a process taking multiple days.

Fitness

MJCC membership and program revenue only cover about 80% of the cost of operating and staffing our facility. The balance of the cost is covered by rentals and fundraising. Without rentals, we would have to increase dues and fees to an unreasonable level.

Sports

Why are there so many rentals in the pool?

Don’t forget about the free classes in the Main and Warm Pools. See page 16.

Aquatics

How many laps do I have to do to swim a mile?

Adult Aquatic Exercise Classes

Arts, Culture Arts + Culture + Education

It is best practice of aquatic facilities to institute a swim test to determine a child's ability. Many adults over-estimate their child’s abilities and assume they are stronger swimmers than they actually are. This overestimation can lead to hazardous situations for the child, especially if the adult is not appropriately supervising the child. During the swim test, the lifeguard will assess whether or not the child’s swimming ability is proficient to allow them greater independence in the water. Making it from Point A to Point B does not mean the child has demonstrated comfort or competence in the skill required. All decisions are up to the lifeguard’s discretion.

Our aquatic therapy offerings are currently on hold as we work to recruit a new Aquatic Therapist. When a new therapist is available, we will send an announcement to members welcoming the therapist to our team.

Various Tuesdays, September 10 - December 17 12:00 - 1:00 pm

In each of these yoga-for-the-body sessions, the hour will be devoted to addressing a specific area of the body where many people have regular pain, discomfort, or tightness. In each session, we will roll out or “massage� the area and practice several gentle stretches that can easily be done at home or after a workout.

Techniques to calm the nervous system and mind anxiety. Insomnia, panic, restlessness, overreacting to stressors, and digestion issues can all be symptoms of a nervous system in overdrive. Each of these sessions will focus on a mindfulness technique to restore the nervous system to a place where you can rest and digest and the mind can relax. These workshops will focus on our senses.

Enrollment FAQs

• You may register online or in person at the Welcome Desk.

• Payment must be provided at time of registration to guarantee a spot.

• If participants miss a class, they are not allowed to drop into other classes. If a class or program is cancelled due to inclement weather or other cause, we are unable to schedule make-up sessions or provide refunds. We will give one voucher per session, for 10% off enrollment of one class during the next program session, even if more than one class is cancelled. This voucher may not be turned into a refund.

Accommodating Waitlists

All programs operate with minimum enrollment requirements and maximum enrollment capacities. We reserve the right to cancel, change, or combine programs when minimum program enrollments have not been met. Once a program is filled, a waitlist will be created. You will be called if an opening becomes available or if additional classes are created.

Note: If additional classes are created, they may not be at the same time or day as the original program.

Inclement Weather and Building Closures

If a class or program is cancelled due to inclement weather or other cause, we are unable to schedule make-up sessions or provide refunds if requested during the current program guide session. One voucher per session will be issued for 10% off enrollment of one class during the next program session.
