Pg

we ask individuals to act appropriately at all times when they are in our facility or participating in our programs. We expect persons using the JCA to behave in a considerate and
responsible way and to respect the rights and dignity of other members, guests and staff. Our Code of Conduct outlines actions that are deemed inappropriate. These include
but are not limited to: inappropriate attire–appropriate attire in keeping with the values of the JCA must be worn at all times; angry or vulgar language, including swearing,
name-calling or shouting; physical contact with another person in any angry or threatening way; any demonstration of sexual activity or sexual contact with another person;
harassment or intimidation by words, gestures, body language or any menacing behavior; theft or behavior that results in the destruction of property; carrying or concealing any
weapons or devices or objects that may be used as weapons with the exception of law enforcement professionals; using or possessing illegal chemicals (drugs) on JCA property,
in JCA vehicles or at JCA sponsored programs; using or possessing alcohol on JCA property, in JCA vehicles or at unsanctioned JCA sponsored programs; any other conduct of an
inappropriate, threatening or offensive nature. Loitering is not permitted in or outside the JCA. Use of all tobacco products, smoking (including e-cigarettes) is not permitted
in or outside the JCA. The JCA and its property is a smoke-free/tobacco-free environment. The JCA is dedicated to the enhancement of Jewish identity and the continuity of
Jewish life. A person or persons’ act of proselytizing or teaching of non-Jewish principles in an attempt to convert members or guests is prohibited, and persons engaging in
proselytizing will be required to leave the building and grounds. In addition, the JCA reserves the right to deny access or membership to the following persons: registered sex
offenders; those accused/convicted of sexual abuse crimes; those accused/convicted of crimes relating to the sale/use/possession/transportation of narcotics, habit forming,
and/or dangerous drugs; those excessively or continuously using intoxicating beverages, narcotics, or dangerous drugs. The JCA maintains a no tolerance policy concerning all of
the above. Members and guests are encouraged to be responsible for their personal comfort and safety and to ask any person whose behavior threatens their comfort to refrain
from that behavior. If a member or guest feels uncomfortable in confronting the person directly, they should report the behavior to a staff person or the Manager on Duty. Good
personal hygiene, including the appropriate use of deodorant, is expected as a consideration to other members. JCA staff members are eager to be of assistance. Members and
guests should not hesitate to notify a staff member if assistance is needed. In order to be able to carry out these policies, we ask that members and guests identify themselves
to staff when asked. The Executive Team will investigate all reported incidents. Suspension or termination of JCA membership privileges may result from a determination by the
Executive Team if in their discretion a violation of the JCA Member Code of Conduct has occurred.

We trust that your summer has been enjoyable and
safe. The JCA has just ended a wonderful summer camp
season where we served over 800 different children
with a daily attendance of close to 400 campers. This is
quite a feat and a direct reflection on our mature and
Myron Flagler
experienced camp leadership team. While Summer
Camp ran concurrently with our regular JCA programs, 730 - 2100 ext. 246
everything worked like a finely tuned machine. Thank you to all who were involved.
This Program Guide offers an array of activities and programs to meet nearly
every need and interest of our members. If you have not done so, please visit
our Wellness Coaches at the JCA Baptist Wellness Connexion. This complimentary
service will help you get healthy and reach your wellness goals for the New Year.
November’s Mini Cultural Arts Festival and Book Festival will kick off with a
discussion by Ambassador Dennis Ross who has published a new book detailing
his involvement in the Middle East peace process. This compelling talk will set
the tone for the festival’s other guest authors.
Fall marks our children’s return to Michele Block Gan Yeladim’s award winning
early childhood program and the JCA After School program. These programs
provide unparalleled excellence in early learning in an unmatched facility and
the exceptional and dedicated staff provides a nurturing learning environment
for our children. Check out our Early Childhood and Youth Services programming
and give your child a rewarding and enriching school year.
As we approach the Jewish New Year, let us take stock, reflect, make amends
and develop a strategy for making ourselves and the world better. The process
of self-reflection allows us to learn and blossom into better people physically,
emotionally and spiritually. Let the J be a part of this enhancement. May you
and your family be blessed with a sweet year full of good health.
Shalom!
