Community Honors Susan Bender at 5th Annual Epicurean EventAttendees of the 5th Annual Epicurean Event gathered at the Glen Oaks Club not only to sample the delicious foods and wines from over 44 area restaurants and wineries, but to honor Susan Bender, who attended her last Evening of Wine and Food Festival as Sid Jacobson JCC’s Executive Director. Susan, who is retiring after 18 years of tireless devotion to the community, insisted that the evening was not all about her.
“We are all here because we know how vital the JCC’s services are to Long Island families,” she said. “Our programs represent hope to the thousands in our community in need.” Yet Susan’s contribution to these critical programs cannot be overlooked. The Epicurean Event
raised funds for the JCC’s Young Alzheimer’s, autism and special needs services, all of which would not have been possible without her passion and devotion. Through her leadership, Sid Jacobson JCC developed Let’s Do Lunch ™, a first-of-its-kind program for people in their 30s, 40s and 50s suffering from Young Onset

Friendship Circle to Aid Those with Alzheimer’s DiseaseSid Jacobson JCC’s Friendship Circle Luncheon has always been known as an afternoon of great food and fashion, but it also serves a vital purpose for the participants of the Friendship Circle: funding for a fifth day of programming. For the 8th annual luncheon, held on May 12 at The Garden City Hotel, the JCC honored Lee & Michael Dubb, who have gone above and beyond for individuals who suffer from Alzheimer’s disease, dementia or other related conditions. Norman Schefer and Robert Goldberg of The Fay J. Lindner Foundation accepted the Tikkun Olam Award and CBS correspondent Barry Petersen received the Communications Service Award.
The Friendship Circle Luncheon shines the spotlight on those in the community who live with functional or memory impairment as a result of aging, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease or other related conditions.
A social adult day program, the Friendship Circle gives the frail elderly personalized attention and cognitive and physical

ASST. TREASURERHoward Kroplick
Throughout Jewish tradition, we have always
held women of valor in the highest regard. They
are leaders, strong in heart and in mind. Without
them, our people would have fallen long ago.
These women are not just in the Torah scrolls; they
among us in the community, working tirelessly to
bring hope to those in need and strengthening
our people. Susan Bender is one of these valorous
women.
As a Jewish professional, Susan has epitomized
the concept of tikkun olam, healing the world, to
both Sid Jacobson JCC and the North Shore of Long
Island. Consider what the JCC would have been like
had Susan never stepped foot over the threshold.
We would never have seen the rise of such
innovative Alzheimer’s and dementia programs
like the Friendship Circle or Let’s Do Lunch™.
We would not have the programs to offer to
children with autism and other special needs.
We would not have
the firm relationships
and friendships with
the Jewish community,
whether it be through
synagogues or UJA-
Federation of NY. Our
building would have been
30,000 acres smaller and
Bernice Jacobson Day School & Camp would have
been only a dream.
Susan Bender, like the original eshet chayil, is “a
woman of valor... her value is far beyond pearls.”
I join the Board of Directors, the JCC staff and the
entire community in wishing her good luck in her
future endeavors. Whatever her plans, she can
be sure that she leaves behind a legacy that will
continue to affect us all for years to come.
Message From the Executive Director . . .“TO EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEASON AND A TIME TO EVERY PURPOSE UNDER HEAVEN” Ecclesiastes 3:1
After eighteen years at the helm of Sid Jacobson
JCC, I am proud to look back on the enormous
change and growth that the years have brought.
The amazing growth of Sid Jacobson JCC, from its
earliest nomadic days to the construction of our
East Hills campus in 1988 to its expansion in 2001
to the addition of Bernice Jacobson Day School &
Camp in 2008, is a testament to the partnership
and vision that have become so integral to JCC life.
Sid Jacobson JCC has grown to become a leader
in the Jewish and general community through
the dedication of talented lay leaders and gifted
professional staff. It has been an honor and a
privilege to have worked with and learned from
them.
The JCC has become a leader in the provision of
services to the most vulnerable among us. We’ve
forged partnerships with area synagogues to build
a caring, compassionate and welcoming Jewish
community accessible to all. Tikkun Olam has
resonated as a theme throughout every department
of the JCC, including teens mentoring special
needs children or at-risk youth, preschoolers
learning to care for the
environment, social
workers offering respite
to caregivers, synagogues
working with the JCC to
feed the homeless or
teens traveling to work in
devastated areas of our
country.
Looking to the future, Bernice Jacobson Day School
& Camp will allow us to build premiere Jewish
day camping to rival the finest in the day camp
industry, while being inclusive of the diversity
of needs in our community. Quality Jewish day
care will allow us to raise future generations in a
nurturing environment and a beautiful lush setting.
As I take my leave, one of my greatest rewards in
the coming years will be seeing Sid Jacobson JCC
and Bernice Jacobson Day School & Camp grow
to accomplish even greater success in this new
chapter in their history. I will always cherish these
wonderful years as the highlight of an almost forty-
year career in JCCs, and I am grateful to all of you
for having allowed me this opportunity.

The premiere fundraising event on Long
Island, the Auction connects donors,
sponsors and participants with a common
goal of providing a better life for people
in their community. With these funds, Sid
Jacobson JCC has become the backbone
for the North Shore, providing crucial
programming for frail elderly suffering from
dementia, families dealing with a loved
one’s Young Onset Alzheimer’s and children
living with the isolating effects of autism.
Kenia Nunez and her son Marken are two
of the thousands of people that have been
helped by Auction-funded programming.
Marken, an intelligent and friendly nine
year old, has Asperger’s, a mild form of
autism. Despite his best efforts, he is
bullied physically and emotionally by
his classmates. In her speech to Auction
guests, Kenia described how the school
district was powerless to stop the abuse,
leaving her son on his own to deal with his
internal and external scars.
Then they discovered Sid Jacobson JCC’s
Special Need Center. Now Marken spends
his summers at Camp Kehilla, the JCC’s day
camp at Henry Kaufmann Campgrounds
for children with special needs, and the
rest of the year participating in the Kehilla
Saturdays program. “Each day that Marken
is in a program at Sid Jacobson JCC, I see a
renewed strength in him. I know that after a
weekend of spending time with his buddies
and adults who care about him, he will be
able to go back to school with his head held
high.”
Sid Jacobson JCC would like to thank the
Auction Committee, donors, sponsors,
volunteers and attendees for raising
over $600,000 for children like Marken.
Every dollar will go towards building the
confidence of an autistic child, providing a
safe and enriching day program for adults
with Young Onset Alzheimer’s and allowing
the frail elderly the dignity that they
deserve. For more information on how you
can support these vital programs, visit us
online at www.sjjcc.org.

Flame the BandIn March, Flame, a band made up of 11 individuals with developmental or physical disabilities, set the audience dancing with a rocking show.
The Sheldon A. Sinnet BASICS Fund, which benefits from the Auction, has given start-up grants to some of our best programs.
G.E.M.S.The Group Educational Memory Strengthening (G.E.M.S.) program is for those in the very early stages of memory loss.
Shooting StarsShooting Stars pairs special needs children with their peers to learn valuable basketball skills.
The Fay J. Lindner Foundation Names Senior Services CenterSid Jacobson JCC is thrilled to
announce the naming of the
new Fay J. Lindner Foundation
Senior Services Center. The
Fay J. Lindner Foundation has
always been a friend of the JCC,
supporting programs for seniors,
as well as those diagnosed
with Young Onset Alzheimer’s
disease.
“The Foundation is proud to lend its support to Sid Jacobson
Jewish Community Center,” Robert Goldberg, president of
The Fay J. Lindner Foundation said.
The Fay J. Lindner Foundation Senior Services Center
continues to provide the very best in programming for both
well and frail elderly. Active seniors take full advantage of the
many offered trips, cultural arts experiences and lectures,
while those with functional or memory impairment brought
upon by stroke, aging, Alzheimer’s disease or related issues
participate in the Friendship Circle day program. The Fay J.
Lindner Senior Services Center also boasts Let’s Do Lunch™,
a first-of-its-kind program for those in their 30s, 40s and 50s
suffering from Young Onset Alzheimer’s disease.
26th Annual Golf & Tennis Outing Honoree AnnouncedOn August 1, tennis players and golf foursomes will fill the
courts and greens of Old Westbury Golf & Country Club
for Sid Jacobson JCC’s 26th Annual Golf & Tennis Outing.
Raising money for the valuable social programs at the JCC,
the Golf & Tennis Outing is a vital—and fun—fundraising
event for the whole community. This year, the Outing will be
honoring Martin Rosenman, with a special recognition for
David Nussbaum.
Sid Jacobson JCC’s Golf & Tennis Outings has been
responsible for raising over $4 million in the past 25 years. These funds have directly
benefited programs that the community desperately needs, including Camp Kehilla,
a summer camp for children on the autism spectrum, and the Friendship Circle, a day
program for the frail elderly affected with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Last year’s
event gave participants the opportunity to take a personal interest in these populations,
allowing people to purchase scholarships for those in the Friendship Circle and children at
Camp Kehilla.
Honoree Martin Rosenman has been a friend to the JCC since its inception. Having spent
years dedicated to Jewish charitable endeavors, his experience has helped the agency
expand to provide the programming vital to our members and community. David Nussbaum
has been a critical part of the Golf & Tennis Outing, guaranteeing its continuing existence
for the last 25 years. He will be receiving the “Keter Award” (Person of Distinction)
in recognition of his tireless work within the JCC since its earliest days and the JCC’s
expression of gratitude.

Alzheimer’s Disease. She also was integral in establishing the Special Needs Center, which brought children with autism and other special needs together with seasoned professionals to develop social skills and lasting friendships. Susan’s legacy has been one of growth, beginning with the 2001 expansion of the Sid Jacobson JCC building and continuing with the purchase of Bernice Jacobson Day School & Camp in 2008. Her efforts are the foundation for the JCC’s continued program growth, bringing its services to the greater Long Island community.

5th Annual 5K Run/Walk and Children’s Fun RunRunners from all over Long Island have already
signed up for the 5th Annual 5K Run/Walk and

5 in front of Sid Jacobson JCC. Among them are
members of the JCC’s first ever special needs
track team and participants in Strength to
Strength, Partners in Caring’s free adult cancer

programs for special needs children and
cancer survivors in the community.
Through funds from the 5k Run/Walk, the JCC has been able to help maintain
Strength to Strength, which utilizes a group setting to achieve both mental
and physical health for those recovering from cancer treatment or actively
undergoing treatment. With the help of a
professional social worker and a certified exercise
instructor, participants get individualize attention
to help them feel better during treatment and
recover more quickly once treatment is over. The
Special Needs Center is also devoted to individual
wellness, providing unique and exciting programs
to help special needs children to become healthy
in body and mind. Some of these services include
an adaptive aerobics class, personal training and
Shooting Stars, a program that teams up special
needs children with their typical peers to learn
basketball skills.
Many of these programs can’t survive without the generosity of 5K Run/Walk
and Children’s Fun Run participants.

Camp Jacobson at Robin Hood Begins Third SummerThe staff of Bernice Jacobson Day School & Camp is excited to begin the third season of Camp Jacobson at Robin Hood.
In order to keep up with demand, the camp continues to improve facilities to provide new and exciting activities for campers.
This year, the Arts Pavilion has undergone renovation, allowing more children the opportunity to learn skills in jewelry making, pottery and wood-working.
The Junior Sports Fields have also been updated so that the youngest campers can participate in athletics on smaller, more age-appropriate fields.
As always, Camp Jacobson offers 15 acres of fun, including three basketball courts, three heated
swimming pools, a Go Kart track and other staples of the Jewish camping experience.
Bernice Jacobson Day School & Camp has also become a popular site for year-round activities, including birthday parties, after-school programs, family and special events.
Starting in Fall 2011, it will also be the home of the brand new infant and toddler day care program and early childhood classes and programs.
