Dear Friends, Welcome to the inaugural issue of the PJCC’s new magazine, Connections. We created this publication for you, our members, in response to your feedback and requests. It takes the best of our Program Guide and CenterView newsletter and creates a publication that will help you be better informed, entertained, and educated for your greatest health and wellness. We hope that it becomes your family’s trusted resource.
Our cover features a small section of the Center’s Grow Justice Mural, recently completed by Jay Wolf Schlossberg-Cohen and 745 members of the community in the Mark Hamlin Garden. Also shown above is our Justice Garden, which yields fresh produce year-round for the InnVision Shelter Network.
