WELCOME Dear Friends, It’s summer!! And that means MJCC Summer Day Camp!

There is still limited availability for some ages on some dates, and it’s not too late to register. We are really excited about this summer’s camp program, and we expect it to be our most fun-filled summer yet! Of course, there are a lot of other events planned at the J throughout the summer.

Portland Pride is being celebrated during the month of July, and the J will, once again, be offering several Pride events. These events kick-off with Drag Queen Bingo on Thursday, July 11 from 6:00 - 7:30 pm. On Wednesday, July 17, we’ll gather at the J to make signs for the Pride Parade. We hope you’ll join us to walk in the Portland Pride Parade on Sunday, July 21. See page 6.

This summer features a number of wonderful cultural arts events, as well. Thanks to a new partnership with Third Rail Repertory Theatre, we’ll be screening the show Dear England from National Theatre Live on Sunday, June 30 at 2:00 pm. In July, we’re excited to present a new exhibition in our lobby gallery space. The exhibit will feature the photographs of Moriah Ratner, telling the story of female Torah scribes. Please join us for the opening reception on July 16. In August, we’ll welcome the Portland Chamber Music Orchestra for a concert showcasing the works of composers from the Holocaust.

We are delighted to announce our new MJCC Volunteer Corps. This program, which will kick-off during the summer, provides two options for individuals who wish to volunteer at the MJCC. The first role is that of J Ambassador. This program provides meaningful volunteer opportunities that build community, improve lives, and connect members. The J Ambassador program will connect volunteers with members who are new or returning to the MJCC who would like a better understanding of the J’s programs and services. The volunteer and new/returning member will discuss the member’s interests and meet weekly for eight weeks. These weekly meetings may entail attending a group exercise class, working out in the Fitness Center together, swimming, attending an event, or having coffee at the cafe.

The second role is Arts and Culture Events Volunteer. The MJCC presents a wide range of events related to Jewish holidays, lectures, performances, and exhibitions.

We partner with local artists, organizations, and community members to offer these experiences to members and non-members alike. Volunteers will assist with set-up, tear-down, check-in, as well as assist with other needs prior to, during, and following the event. Stay tuned for more details about how to join our Volunteer Corps.

Last but not least, check out our new online store (oregonjcc.org/store) to purchase the latest in MJCC swag!

We’re excited about all the activities and special events planned for this summer.

All of us like to be outdoors during the lovely summer weather, but please plan to “find yourself at the J” this summer, as well. We look forward to seeing you.
