Dear CLLD Participants,

On behalf of the Center for Life Long Development (CLLD) at the JCC, I want to thank

you to all our current and new participants for being part of our program. We are so excited

to be able to bring this program to you and hope that you get to experience all that the pro-

gram has to offer. We have received remarkable feedback on this first semester and are eager

to present to you all of the changes we made to make this program even better! Some of these

improvements include changes in the registration process, more time between consecutive

classes, and offering more sessions of the well-attended classes. In addition, we will be

changing the courses from 2-month sessions to 3 month sessions beginning July 2012. Each

center of excellence has a volunteer-driven committee which steered the direction of program-

ming presented in this Program Guide. If you are interested in joining one of these commit-

tees, please come into the CLLD office, and a friendly member of our staff would be glad to

get you on board!

We are also extremely excited and happy to introduce to you the new CLLD staff (see page

5) located in the CLLD office on the 2nd floor of the Bernikow building. In the near future,

you will receive a call from one of our staff to help you complete the DFTA-required intake

and comprehensive health assessment in order to track your participation and progress in this

program.

We hope that you continue to enjoy your experience with us and if I, or any of our staff, can

be of assistance, please do not hesitate to pop into the CLLD office!

Sincerely,

Orit Lender

CLLD Program Director

Welcome to the Joan and Alan Bernikow

Jewish Community Center

We are pleased and excited to have you visiting our building as you take part in the wonderful new

Innovative Senior Center named the Center for Life Long Development. Whether you use the pool for

a water aerobics class, “trek” through our Fitness Center or enjoy dinner and then dance to the music

of the Full Count Big Band, you’ll find our modern facility easy to navigate and our staff welcoming

and eager to help. After you have spent time here if you are curious about having access to all the JCC

has to offer on your own schedule, be sure to stop by the Membership Office and speak to Jill Gottlieb,

our JCC Membership Director. She’ll be happy to explain your options and the benefits of becoming a

platinum member at the JCC.

Susan Sappin, JCC President David Sorkin, Executive Director

Social Service Programs at the JCC

The JCC functions as a human services agency committed to enhancing the physical, intellectual and

spiritual wellness of the individual, family and community. We provide health, cultural and educational

programs that serve the community at large, with special attention given to populations at risk. Among

the many programs the JCC administers are Case Management Services, which provide older home-

bound adults and their families a case manager to help navigate the maze of services to develop indi-

vidual care plans. We also offer Caregiver Services for adults caring for elderly spouses and parents

with physical or cognitive disorders as well as a program for Grandparents as Caregivers. Our Kosher

Meals on Wheels program delivers meals to the elderly homebound while providing vital help and

contact to these isolated individuals.

In addition to all these DFTA supported programs, the JCC provides services and programs for

over 30,000 individuals and supports over 600 young families on Staten Island with day care, after-

school care, tutoring and related services.

If you would like to contribute or support any of these vital services, please contact Kevin Brosnick,

Director of Individual Giving at 718.475.5256 or [email protected].
