I want to extend my special thanks to everyone who has participated in our Annual Campaign! The MJCC is a non-profit organization, and because membership dues and program fees cover only 83% of our expenses, we depend on support from donors. For as little as $30/month, you can join our Friends of the Center Society! Of course, gifts of any size are greatly appreciated. For more information about the Friends of the Center Society, pick up a flyer from our new information kiosk by the Welcome Desk.

We’ll be reaching out about the Annual Campaign in December, and we hope that you’ll contribute, if you haven’t already done so.

This winter is a great time to start or enhance your fitness routine! Please join us on Sunday, January 12 from 11:00 am - 1:00 pm for our annual Fitness Palooza! It’s the perfect time to meet our training staff, get a complimentary workout, and to learn more about our wide array of group exercise classes. Looking for additional guidance? Join Christine Gilmore for her interactive workshop, 20/20 Vision, to create a plan and a path to achieve your goals.

Our offerings this winter include several new options. From Gentle Sculpt Yoga to Social Dance to Krav Maga (a type of self-defense), we have something for everyone. Another new offering, Coaching in Motion, gets you outdoors for a “walk and talk” experience.

Seeking community service opportunities? Our partnership with Cascadia Clusters, building Tiny Homes on Wheels, is on-going. Check our weekly eblast for information on open volunteer hours. Also, our winter PDX Business Breakfast, coming in March, will focus on the issue of homelessness in Portland. We’ll have details available soon.

As always, we have lots of programs for children and teens! It’s not too late to sign up for the Stingrays Swim Team (ages 7+) or for Junior Rays (ages 5+). We have two youth soccer leagues running this winter from November 17 - January 25 and from February 1 - March 22. Contact our new Sports + Recreation Manager, Ashley Scacco, for more information about soccer leagues, afterschool classes, and other recreational offerings. Finally, it’s not too soon to begin thinking about MJCC Summer Day Camp! The camp guide will be available by the end of the year, and registration opens in February.

Looking forward to seeing you at the J! Warm regards,

Steve Albert Executive Director

Swimming is a great cardiovascular exercise because you are moving against the water’s resistance, which is over ten times that of the air.

Support MJCC Info

The first woman to swim the English Channel, Gertrude Ederle, was 21 years old at that time in 1926.

Childcare

Competitive swimmers use the term fast pool when they are describing a pool that has a good gutter system on the sides. This system allows the water to flow out easily and doesn't allow waves to bounce back to the middle of the pool. The lane lines can also help control the waves and the deeper the pool is, the fewer waves hit the bottom and bounce back up to the surface. The lack of these waves provides less drag/resistance for the swimmers, which gives them a faster time.

Fitness

Most swimmers at the highest levels of competition train from four to five hours per day and five to seven days per week. They will typically swim about six to twelve miles per day along with weight training and flexibility training.

Don’t forget about the free classes in the Main and Warm Pools. See page 14.

Sports

March 4 - 25 7:00 - 8:00 pm, FIT209C Cost: $130. Member Cost: $80.

Swimming became an Olympic sport in 1896. Swimming in the Olympics started as a men’s event only, but women were able to participate starting in 1912.

For over 100 years, the Mittleman Jewish Community Center has been the “living room” of Portland’s Jewish Community. Twelve thousand people come through the doors of the MJCC on a yearly basis, and nearly 4,000 individuals utilize our facilities as members. Membership, program fees, and rentals account for approximately 86% of our annual revenue, and we rely upon donations and grants to make up the difference.
