Through effective management and continued support from our members, partners, generous donors, and The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington, we offered a broad array of programming and maintained the building and grounds in a fiscally sound manner. We continue to develop and implement Vision 2020 — our strategic initiative that is a holistic approach to Jewish community engagement both inside and beyond the walls of the J. Programs and activities helping to make our vision a reality include: • In October, we began exciting renovations to our building which include a new lobby design that reflects the needs of our members by creating more functional space for informal gatherings and a flexible area for programs. Additional improvements to the Bodzin Art Gallery, new first floor bathrooms, lighting, floor coverings, and new entry system all serve to make our J a more welcoming place for all who attend programs and activities in the building. • We continued to expand our reach beyond the walls of the J by partnering with Gesher Jewish Day School and area synagogues to provide community service opportunities for Good Deeds Day. Our J was selected as one of 6 JCCs across the country to pilot Project Welcome Home, a program that addresses the needs of active duty service members, recent veterans, and military families. And, two fantastic film festivals, the 15th Annual Northern Virginia Jewish Film Festival and the 4th Annual ReelAbilities Film Festival continued to garner increased attendance and audience engagement. • We began the “quiet phase” of a Capital Campaign which will ultimately fund Vision 2020, including renovations to our building and seed money to initiate new and innovative programming throughout our community. The Campaign has garnered 100% support from our Board of Directors, including all of our Past Presidents, and it will be unveiled to our members and our community in the coming months. The Adult Services Department launched the new NV Rides Program — a network of service providers working together to improve volunteer driver programs throughout the region. Developed in partnership with Fairfax County and the Jewish Council for the Aging, NV Rides presents a special opportunity for the J to expand its reach to the broader community. • In FY2015, we continued to develop and grow the Community Shlichut Program, which was recently renamed the Shiri Rahamim Shlichut Program in memory of our first shlicha. The Family Services Department continued to provide joyful Jewish experiences and values for children of all ages. Our Health, Fitness and Aquatics department helped participants stay active and informed of the latest wellness news. The Special Needs Department continued providing programs designed to help individuals with special needs develop physical and social skills. These examples of the great year we’ve had are just scratching the surface! As you read through this annual report, you will see program highlights in three key areas: Community Engagement, Families, and Wellness. In conclusion, as my two year tenure as President comes to a close, I want to acknowledge and thank the members, staff, and Board of Directors. It is through their unwavering support and encouragement that this agency serves as a hub for Jewish activities in Northern Virginia. Our members are the fuel that drives what we do. Our staff members are simply the best. They spend many hours working with a passion and mission to make each activity a meaningful experience for its participants. Jeff Dannick, the J’s Executive Director, and I have worked as a team to help ensure smooth operations of the programs and facilities. Jeff is a true professional and it has been a pleasure working with him. And last, but not least, are the Board members that make up your Board of Directors. They oversee both the fiscal and governing policies of this agency and have put in many long hours at committee meetings and Board meetings to ensure the positive governance of the J. It has been my pleasure to work with all of you. Todah rabah (thank you)! Connie Pesachowitz President Page 2 VISION LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR As I begin my fifth year as Executive Director of the J, I continue to be honored and privileged to serve our community, our membership, our staff, and our Board of Directors. Unlike the House of Representatives, our leadership election cycles land on odd years, so 2015 marks the conclusion of Connie Pesachowitz’s Presidential term, and the beginning of the Scott Brown administration. Connie and Scott share some common history: they both worked professionally at the J, moved on to other professional opportunities, and then returned to the J as lay leaders, culminating in the Presidency of the Board. It has been extremely valuable to all of us at the J to have such dedicated and experienced leadership at the helm. On Connie’s watch, we completed our strategic planning process, began some long overdue renovations to the facility, and continued to strengthen our programming and financial stability. Now with the transition to Scott’s leadership, we have the opportunity to focus on the implementation of our strategic plan, continue to invest in our facility, and invest even more extensively in the engagement of our broader Jewish community. The plan is driven by a renewed vision statement, ten core values, and six broad strategies. I am pleased to be able to share the highlights with you here, and I welcome more in-depth conversations with all of our interested members. We are at varying stages of execution against the six strategies found below, but I would like to highlight one in particular. Strategy #5, Excellence in Governance, is dependent on identifying and recruiting the best possible lay leadership. I would like to commend the Leadership Development Committee, chaired by David Yaffe, which has selected and recruited the largest, most diverse class of new Board members since my arrival in 2011. This infusion of new energy and new perspectives, under the leadership of our new President, makes the JCC of Northern Virginia a very exciting place to work and play. See you at the J Guided by Jewish values, the JCCNV will spark, foster, and build Jewish Connection, Community, and Peoplehood throughout Northern Virginia by creating outstanding opportunities for every individual to explore the boundless potential of Jewish life. Understanding that our community is widely scattered, we will meet people where they are — both within and beyond the walls of the JCC. VALUES Pride: We are proud to be a Jewish organization and want to imbue that pride in all we do. Inclusion: We seek to be inclusive and to extend our reach so that we can bring Jewish vibrancy, connection, and community to Northern Virginia. Inviting and embracing: We recognize that we are part of a diverse international community. Respect and empathy: We will embrace all with respect and empathy. Excellence: Through our Board and staff, we will demonstrate exceptional standards of professionalism and compassion. Partnership: We will seek out connections and opportunities to partner, collaborate, and cooperate. Israel: We will seek to build understanding and connection to the people, history, and future of Israel. Tikkun Olam: At the heart of our Jewish community is our responsibility to repair the world. Learning: We will continually expand our capacity to achieve our vision using new and expansive ideas. Honesty and integrity: We will deal fairly and with transparency, showing consistency among principles, values, and behaviors while building trust through personal authenticity and following through on our commitments. J, Jeff Dannick Executive Director STRATEGIES Our home is the Jewish community of Northern Virginia, and we will seek to reach our community in multiple ways through three Vision-based areas of strategic focus: Strategy #1: Our building will be a vital component of Jewish life, learning, and culture in our community. Strategy #2: We will bring the vitality of Jewish life, learning, and culture to our community, meeting people where they are. Strategy #3: We will be innovative in programming that begins in our building and moves across Northern Virginia to include all segments of the community through collaboration, partnering, and coalitions. Programming will develop Jewish community that links us to each other, Israel, and Jews around the world. In order to be successful in our Vision-based strategies, we must build greater foundational strength. We will do that with three supporting strategies: Strategy #4: Development and Brandraising: We will implement a highly coordinated Board and staff development initiative that aggressively supports the Vision, Values, and Strategies. Strategy #5: Excellence in Governance: We will establish tools and practices to maximize Board effectiveness in support of the Vision and Values. Strategy #6: Operational Excellence: We will align operations to support the plan. We will hire, train, and retrain staff to support the plan seeking the combinations of skills necessary to support the Vision and Values. Page 3 Impact Summaries COMMUNITY COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT With more than 120 programs taking place at the J and out in the community, the Community Engagement Department strives to inspire Jewish journeys and provide opportunities for families in Northern Virginia seeking deeper participation in Jewish life. We have developed extensive outreach efforts to support programs designed to emphasize Jewish culture, identity, and values to people of all ages and backgrounds. Partnerships with area synagogues, Jewish agencies — including The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington — and local businesses are built upon to encourage a hub-and-spoke concept where the J drives community outreach programs throughout the year. Growing Jewish Families Following the success of our first PJ Library® Book Buddies program, we expanded our reach and now hold monthly programs in four different libraries located throughout Northern Virginia. The Challah Tots program has grown to three locations — providing monthly programs at each. Families come together to schmooze, braid challah, enjoy stories, and make crafts. An added benefit is forging partnerships with local businesses. Community We engaged the community by expanding our holiday programming to include five Chanukah programs serving nearly 600 people and programs were also held in celebration of Tu B’Shevat, Purim and Passover. Annual events such as the MLK Day Give Together program, coordinated in partnership with Volunteer Fairfax; Good Deeds Day held at Gesher Jewish Day School; the NoVa Simcha Expo; and J Fest continue to bring nearly 1,000 people together each year. In partnership with the Jewish Community Relations Council, we hosted our largest Yom Ha’Shoah Remembrance program to date — more than 600 people attended. This intergenerational program brought together adults of all ages, teens from all over Northern Virginia, 120 visiting teens from a Mormon High School in Utah, and a group of Young Adults who met with Russian survivors to hear their stories. Project Welcome Home Our J was one of only six JCCs in the country selected to pilot Project Welcome Home (PWH), a program of the JCC Association that addresses the needs of our returning military and their families. Page 2 Page 4 “The J is an integral part of our daily lives. It’s where we run into old friends and make new friends, where we push our bodies in exercise classes, and where we expand our minds with challenging and enlightening programs and cultural events. From the tiny tots in the early childhood learning program walking together to the parents and grandparents visiting and playing games in the lobby or hustling to work out, the J is a home for all generations.” — Janet and Murray Horwitz, members and volunteers Israel The Shiri Rahamim Shlichut Program, recently renamed in memory of our first shlicha (emissary), provides engaging and enriching programs throughout Northern Virginia. The program helps engage members of our community by deepening their connection to Israel’s people, history, traditions, and culture. For the past year, Dana Kalishov, our fifth Shlicha, immersed herself in our community by developing programs for teens and adults that were offered at the J and around the community. The Shiri Rahamim Shlichut Program is fully funded by individuals and agencies in our community. • More than 80 programs and presentations were given to teens and adults. • 15 Northern Virginia teen’s participated in an eight week Israel Teen Fellowship program in partnership with The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington, JCRC’s Israel Action Center, and the J. These 10th –12th graders examined the special relationship our Jewish community has with Israel, learned how to be savvy consumers of media and information, gained presentation and advocacy skills, and more. • Our Shlicha delivered sermons at area synagogues, held teacher workshops in the religious schools, sat on five committees, and held three preparatory meetings for groups going to Israel. Page 3 Page 5 CULTURAL ARTS “Although I love attending cultural arts programs, it is the involvement with planning that has enriched my cultural growth the most. Through my work on the Film Committee, I have met many fascinating guest artists and speakers, some of whom have remained as personal friends, and I feel the post screening programs have helped to heighten the impact of what our festival offers to our community.” — Enid Liess, member and volunteer Page 6 Mission To demonstrate, illuminate and celebrate the breadth and depth of Judaism’s culture, identity, creativity, diversity and resiliency through the performing, visual, and literary arts. Our Cultural Palette A Ladino folk song. A passionate tango. A spicy taste. A riveting memoir. A saffron brushstroke. A family drama. A hearty laugh. By the Numbers • Third year of JCCNV Performing Arts Series: 6 events, 9 performances, 790 attendees • Introduced Northern Virginia j.talks, a series of conversations with authors and artists: 20 authors, 13 events, 435 attendees • The Bodzin Art Gallery enourages the development of Jewish arts and artists: 7 exhibitions • The influences of Jewish food were acknowledged with The Art of Jewish Food, an inaugural event of theatre, film, music, cookbook authors, cooking demonstrations, and tastings: 9 events, 400 attendees • Northern Virginia Jewish Film Festival grew by 8% in FY2015: 24 screenings, 1,857 attendees Special thanks to our FY15 partners: Angelika Film Center & Café at Mosaic, Beth El Hebrew Congregation, Congregation Adat Reyim, Congregation Beth Emeth, Congregation Beth Torah, Fall for the Book, GMU Hillel, Israel Forever Foundation, Jewish Museum of Maryland, NOVA Tribe, One More Page Books, and SpeakeasyDC. Funding for JCCNV Cultural Arts Programs came from: The Arts Council of Fairfax County, supported by Fairfax County; Angelika Film Center & Café at Mosaic; the Embassy of Israel; and the Jewish Food Experience. MARKETING & MEMBERSHIP Key Initiatives • Introduced and implemented the new JCCA branding which, in its simplicity, reexpresses the brand with new relevancy to a new generation. J stands for Jewish, of course, and also for JCC — that big tent environment that transcends differences and creates an atmosphere where anything is possible. Our brand adopts this succinct and catchy colloquialism as our informal name. Officially, we remain the JCC of Northern Virginia — and we are proud to embody every word in the name Jewish Community Center. But in casual conversation and in our communications vehicles, we embrace The J. • Emphasized new member engagement in the first few months of their membership. • Provided improved customer service by initiating ongoing customer service training to staff and having additional member appreciation activities. • Offered membership specials to the Fairfax County fire department staff and volunteers and the faculty of Fairfax County schools. The specials allow us to build partnerships while honoring those who serve our community. • Our “J Friend” membership category quadrupled this year. • We created a new young professionals membership category. The restructure increased the category by 50%, suggesting that we are beginning to attract millennials. NV RIDES In October 2014, after nearly two years of discussion, the NV Rides program became a reality. The concept was born out of the need to create a coordinated hub for volunteer transportation for non-driving seniors, free of charge, in our community. Through a partnership among the J, Fairfax County, Jewish Council for the Aging (JCA), and the Community Foundation for Northern Virginia, NV Rides is working with community-based organizations that have volunteer driver programs, or would like to start a program. NV Rides is supporting these programs by helping to build capacity, raising awareness for the need for volunteer transportation in the community, recruiting volunteers, providing a ride scheduling software, conducting volunteer driver background checks, and marketing support for those programs. There are currently five service providers who are providing rides with support from NV Rides: Shepherd’s Center of McLean Arlington Falls Church (SCMAFC)” Mt. Vernon at Home (MV@H) Reston Community Center (RCC) Herndon Village Network (HVN) Shepherd Center of Annandale-Springfield (SCA-S) These service providers are primarily offering volunteer transportation to medical appointments and to the grocery store. NV Rides expects to add three additional service providers to the network by the end of summer 2015. As the program grows, NV Rides is working to add additional functions to the initiative which will enable non-driving J members get to programs at the J. Page 7 Impact Summaries “We are so happy to have ‘C’ at the J in the Infant class! She literally starts laughing and smiling when I park her stroller outside the classroom every morning, and knows when I say we are going to see Miss Grace and her friends. The teachers are so sweet and I know they are spoiling her! They are creative in what they do with the babies each day. Whether it’s helping her with rolling over and mobility or helping her hold different items so she can feel different textures, we understand how they are helping with her growth and development. Now that C. is starting to eat solid food, they are helping us with what is working, how she likes to eat, etc. That advice is always helpful!” — Nikki G., ECLC parent FAMILIES FAMILY SERVICES ECLC • During the 2014–2015 school year, the JCCNV Early Childhood Learning Center (ECLC) in Fairfax operated at capacity in all 18 classrooms with approximately 230 children ranging in age from six weeks to five years old. More than 95% of students are full-time, and/or use extended day options. • Our JCCNV-Beth El satellite program, located at Beth El Hebrew Congregation in Alexandria, operated in seven classrooms with approximately 67 children ranging in age from 18 months to five years old. More than 80% of the children enjoyed full-time extended care enrollment. • The JCCNV’s ECLC is still the only Infant/Toddler program in the Washington Metropolitan Area that is guided by Jewish values and culture. • Both locations continued their work as a JCCA Sheva Learning Community — our Fairfax center was highlighted at the 2015 JCCA Professional Conference. • Focusing on the Sheva Framework component of Educators as Professionals, the ECLC emphasized professional development over the course of the school year by creating Learning Community Groups within the school which allowed for in-depth discussions, conversations, and reflections between educators, support staff, and directors. • The Director of Early Childhood Services and the ECLC Jewish Culture and Values Coordinator had the opportunity to visit Israel with the JCCA Sheva group. From this visit, they created a Torah Story room which provided a hands-on experience for children to learn about the stories of Noah’s Ark and Moses. • Focusing on parents as learners in our community, the JCCNV-Beth El ECLC offered several parent workshops. • More than 95% of respondents to an annual survey sent by the JCCNV-Beth El ECLC expressed extreme satisfaction with our program and staff. “We are so thankful that JCCNV-Beth El ECLC has been the place where we trust others to care for the two most important people in our lives — our boys. Beyond the fantastic educational experiences and fun our children have every day, and beyond the fantastic teachers, is a preschool institution that genuinely cares about our children, their well-being, and their happiness. We believe the purpose of preschool is to instill a great foundation for kids to love school and learning — Beth El has more than exceeded our expectations!” — Ilana and Michael Reyes, JCCNV-Beth El parents Page 8 School-Age Services During FY2015, the Before- and After-School Program (BASE) and School-Age Services had many achievements: • 35 staff members supervised the school-aged kids in BASE: 30 in morning BASE and 154 in the afternoon. • Provided after-school transportation and care to 12 area schools; 5 also received beforeschool care. • Provided BASE services to students from 4 local schools for which we do not provide transportation, but whose parents want them in our program and provide their own transportation. This demand increased from two schools in FY2014. • Long-time staff member, Conor Dibble, joined the full-time staff as the School-Age Services Coordinator. • Developed and implemented “Package C,” or the “Home BASE Program” designed to meet the needs of students in 6th–8th grades and their parents. The program features a dedicated space with the technology needed to complete their schoolwork as well as age appropriate books, games, and activities. J Camps In 2014, Camp Achva celebrated its 45th summer as the premier Jewish day camp in Northern Virginia offering a unique blend of camp activities, Jewish culture, and fun-loving, experienced staff members to facilitate a summer of fun and exploration! • FY2014-2015 was one of transition. A new Camp Director, Brian Grossbard, was hired. He brings a vast resume in Jewish communal service and a desire to provide the once in a lifetime summer experience to our campers that he had at his own summer camp! As a parent of campers in our program and a professional, Brian has the macro-micro zoom lens that JCC Camp Achva needs to meet the challenges and achieve the goals of camp successfully. • The specialty camp program was expanded to run throughout the summer and was offered to a broader age range. Additionally, we continued our work with community partners such as Capital Camps, Washington Sailing Marina, Oak Marr Golf Course, Playwell Teknologies, Little Hands, Fairfax Racquet Club, and Potomac Horse Center, to ensure another summer of successful programming. • In summer 2014, more than 300 campers enrolled in two or more weeks. “When our daughter started kindergarten last fall, we were nervous about her making the transition to a new aftercare program after five years at our previous daycare/preschool. The transition to the J’s BASE Program couldn’t have been smoother! We have found our new aftercare home for our daughter and our family. The staff there made us feel so welcome and our daughter so loved… as a parent, that is priceless.” — Beth and Jason Nicholls, BASE family “I start my camp countdown the day camp ends. I cannot wait to spend my summer with my friends and the best counselors ever!” — Madilyn Posner, camper “The JCC is our community. My children have blossomed under the care of the Early Childhood and the BASE programs. They love the swimming, dance, and music enrichment opportunities. I love that it is all in one place with no extra logistic concerns. The kids and I love the friendships which have grown in our time at the J. Summing up how wonderful the J is in as few words as possible is hard. J” — Merrily Wolf, BASE family Page 9 “Our daughter Alexandra has been enrolled in dance classes at the JCC for almost 4 years now. Her experience has been outstanding, to such an extent that we had to enroll her younger sister, Victoria, in ‘Toddler Tales and Tutus,’ and pre-ballet classes, which she has enjoyed for the last one and a half years. These activities help them grow well, with an appreciation for balance and grace. We wholeheartedly recommend the ballet programs at the JCC.” — Valentin and Otilia Neacsu, j.dance parents j.dance j.dance, a program of the J’s Family Services Department, is committed to providing a safe and nurturing learning environment where students of all skill levels can embrace this expressive art form. The program is based on an appreciation of and respect for the art of dance and strives to instill confidence and grace in each student. Formerly known as the JCCNV Dance Academy, j.dance experienced major transition in FY2015. Moving from the Cultural Arts Department to the Family Services Department, the program was redesigned and re-imagined; our new Dance Director, Barri DeFrancisci, was hired; and significant changes were made to the program: • Three new classes were added: Zumba® Kids, Barre, and Ballet 1A (for absolute beginners joining in winter). All of these classes have seen great success in enrollment and are continuing to grow! • Two shows were produced and performed this year: the Preschool Dance Recital and The Red Slipper. Barri produced, directed, choreographed, and arranged the music for The Red Slipper, in which all of our youth program students and Adult Tap classes performed. The most exciting event hosted by j.dance in FY2015 was the Winter Bash — a dance party for students in grades 5–8. We partnered with Electra Entertainment, who generously donated their services and brought out a DJ, emcee, four dancers, a photo booth, and professional lighting production. Fortyfive students attended and had an amazing time! j.dance by the Numbers • 23: number of classes offered • 124: number of students (40 preschool, 65 youth; 7 adults); 16 summer camp dancers • 400+: audience members at our year-end performance Page 10 “I often describe j.dance as a true community dance program. It is inclusive and nurturing and the instructors are compassionate. Everyone who wants to dance is invited to participate. All thrive. If you ask my children why they love j.dance, they will mention their friends, the teachers, and the recital. If you ask me, I will tell you that it is a rare combination of a non-competitive school with high-quality instructors in a comfortable setting. It is the only dance program we have ever wanted to be involved in. At j.dance, we are at home.” — Karen Kapen, j.dance parent SPECIAL NEEDS • In the summer of 2014, Kadima, our social skills camp, served 30 children and supported approximately 20 campers enrolled in Camp Achva’s school-age camp program. Campers in 4th–6th grades visited Capital Camps in Waynesboro, PA and spent 3 days and 2 nights sleeping in bunks and experiencing the excitement of residential camp. 98% of the campers had never before slept away from home. The positive experience provided campers with feelings of self-empowerment and increased independence skills. • We partnered with Arlington County Therapeutic Recreation to provide new social skills classes. The classes were geared towards children ages 6–12 with high functioning autism, ADD/ADHD, and related disorders. Children learned to explore their emotions, make appropriate friendships, improve self-esteem, manage anxiety, and work on a variety of social skills. Classes were taught by a school psychologist and met once a week for 8 weeks. • Cooking With Class was a new program that provided adults of all abilities an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of food and meal preparation. We partnered with George Mason University’s Nutrition department to use their kitchen. Classes were run by trained chefs and excellent volunteer staff. This program is partially funded by the Joey Pizzano Memorial Fund. • In April 2015 we hosted the 4th Annual ReelAbilities Film Festival for the Greater DC community. During the week-long festival, there were 18 screenings at 16 venues. Screenings were supported by 7 national partners, 8 local sponsors, 16 venue partners, and 27 outreach partners. With the guidance and service of a brand new and knowledgeable steering committee, we were able to make a great impact in the community through the cultural medium of film, helping to break down the stereotypes of people with disabilities through award-winning films and influential talk-backs. • With the addition of 3 new programs, expansion of 6 ongoing programs, and funding from 5 new organizations, the Special Needs Department has effectively served over 2,500 individuals, families, community employees, and friends through social, recreational, educational, inclusive, and/or leisure programming. “The level one autism group, Going Places!, has been a wonderful experience for our son Stephen. It has given him the opportunity to make friends where he feels accepted and it has given us the opportunity to bond with parents faced with our similar situation. These parents have reached out and addressed our concerns. They have provided us with a wealth of information. Life before Going Places! was fairly empty for Stephen. His life revolved around his immediate family and a few hours a week bagging groceries. Now Stephen has friends, a girlfriend, a weekly bowling team, a scheduled once a month activity that he looks forward to attending, and other programs and workshops all because he joined Going Places! We can’t thank you enough! Going Places! has changed our son’s life!” — Susan and Mark N., parents Page 11 Impact Summaries WELLNESS “I am filled with immense gratitude that the JCCNV has reached out and embraced our community with leadership and programs. Being one of the JCCNV’s outreach locations has helped to establish the Greater Gainesville Jewish Community so that anyone moving out this way won’t feel isolated. You are all a dream come true for me and all Jews out here needing to feel the presence of our people close by!” — Suzanne Brooks, Gainesville participant ADULT SERVICES The Adult Services Department offers wellness, social and self-development programs and activities for adults of all ages. In FY2015, the Department served over 1,000 adults ages 55+ per month at the J and five satellite locations throughout Northern Virginia. Highlights • 140 people attended the Thursday at the J fall kick-off program featuring caver Chris Nicola, the largest audience to date! • The Adult Learning Institute (ALI), the J’s center for continued learning for adults of all ages, is close to concluding its second year. A total of 226 individuals have participated in 28 classes over the two-year period. 55 of the people enrolled (almost 25%) reported that they had not participated in any JCCNV Adult Department programs in the past year. Thus, ALI has connected with many members of the community who were not previously involved at the J. In the first year, participants rated their overall satisfaction as an average of 4.61 out of 5.0. That figure increased to 4.83 out of 5.0 for classes completed so far in FY2015. • Our World Today and in the Future, an ongoing monthly current events discussion group with topical and provocative topics, hosts 50–60 people each month. • Adult outreach programs are held weekly in Alexandria and monthly at four other locations throughout Northern Virginia — Reston, Leesburg, Gainesville, and Fredericksburg — and feature speakers, trips, films, and holiday celebrations. These outreach programs have proven to be an invaluable connection between the J and those who are unable to attend programs at our Fairfax location. • The Voice, the Adult Services bi-monthly program guide, was distributed to nearly 11,000 adults aged 55+ throughout Northern Virginia. This marked a 26% increase in circulation over last year. • Adults-on-the-Go, the Adult Services bi-weekly e-newsletter, was distributed to 1,616 adults, a 62% increase in the last year. The J partnered with Bethlehem Lutheran Church to host a FACETS Hypothermia Shelter week from March 1-7, 2015 to provide meals, volunteers, planning, and significant financial support. Here is what was accomplished: • Average of 45 guests served each night (range of 39-52) “Though retired, we want to stay active, be of service, and contribute to something worthwhile. It is important to have a purpose and to be part of something that is greater than yourself. The J fits the bill. It provides activity, an opportunity to serve, and allows us to meet very nice people.” — Ed and Tamara Faggen Page 12 • 70 volunteers (40 from BLC, 24 from JCC, and 6 from partner congregations) • 525 volunteer hours committed to this effort (with 17 volunteers providing over 10 hours of service each) • Substantial donations of money, clothing, toiletries, meals, snack items, etc. • Breakfast, a bag lunch, and a hot dinner provided for seven days • A weekly Metro bus pass or equivalent cost in a gasoline fill-up provided to 58 guests HEALTH, FITNESS & AQUATICS (HFA) In FY2015, HFA Services (formerly Sports, Fitness & Aquatics) embarked on a reevaluation of the services the department offered and how to best serve the needs of our growing active adult population. A strategic decision was made to partner with the Adult Services Department. The result will be a stepped-up collaboration of efforts between the Adult Services Department and the HFA department who, combined, will launch a Wellness Services initiative in January 2016. “The JCC is not just a place I love to take my favorite kickboxing class, workout in the gym, or swim in the indoor pool. It’s not just the place I go to be with my very best of friends. It’s not just a place I go to see a movie at the Jewish Film festival. To me, it is all those things and so much more. I love being at the J and getting involved to bring our Jewish community together! “ — Tammy Cohen Weekly, the HFA department serves approximately 525 participants through its 48 fitness classes. Approximately 50% of our participants attend more than one class per week. The HFA goal is to provide educational and fitness opportunities to help participants make personal choices that result in a balanced and healthy lifestyle. Highlights • Personal Training supports 50% of the Health and Fitness budget. Training staff, creative training packages, promotions, and word of mouth helped the program grow by 12% in FY2015. • The 5th Annual Northern Virginia Cycle Fest drew more than 100 riders, exceeding previous participation numbers. We raised more than $4,000 of which $3,000 was donated to local charities and the balance purchased a leg press machine for the J’s fitness room. • JCC Waves swim teams operated at full capacity and continued to train more than 200 swimmers. One of the most memorable moments of the season was JCC Waves swim team member Olivia Guerra’s qualification for the USA Junior Olympics. • Lunch Bunch preschool swim classes operated at full capacity in all 14 classes and had a 4:1 student to instructor ratio. In addition to learning how to swim, our trainers and Water Safety Instructor (WSI) certified instructors taught children about water safety, healthy habits, and encouraged them to build relationships with peers. “Twenty-five years ago, when I joined the JCCNV I enrolled in a small exercise class where I met a group of women who I now call my “best friends.” We have been together for many birthday celebrations, Bar/ Bat Mitzvahs, and now weddings and funerals. We still meet together 2-3 times a week for a hard workout of kickboxing, spinning, weights, swimming, and coffee. My day or my body would not be complete without my morning at the J with the girls. These friendships and the J are my life.” — Jodi Pick “The ‘J’ has become a fixture in my life and highlight of my days I spend there. After triple bypass surgery, I had let my physical side slip. Shortly after becoming a JCC member, I enrolled in one-on-one training. Thanks to the twice a week workouts with Matt Alvin and my regular attendance of at least 5 days a week at the J, my strength, stamina, and well-being have greatly improved. I credit my progress to Matt’s understanding, patience, and tailoring my workouts to meet my needs.” — Earl Perry Page 13 DEVELOPMENT The JCC of Northern Virginia continued its growth by providing services spanning all age demographics, life interests, and geographic locations throughout Northern Virginia. Our initiatives touch the lives of more than 10,000 people with a corresponding budget of more than $8 million. Dues and program fees cover about 80% of our operating expenses and the remaining resources are provided by our more than 500 generous individual, foundation, corporate, and government partners who value the impact of our programs and services and share our commitment to meeting the needs of our community. Highlights: • FY2015 saw exciting renovations to our lobby, the Bodzin Art Gallery, restrooms, and several office spaces — the first significant updates since the building opened in 1990. We are in the early stages of a campaign, which will be launched in the near future, to fund this and many other upcoming improvements. New security gates were included in the renovation thanks to a grant from the Department of Homeland Security. • Our Annual Gala, chaired by Judy and Eugene Greenberg, chronicled the J’s past, celebrated our present, and envisioned an ambitious future of a strong, vibrant, and diverse Northern Virginia Jewish community. Nearly 200 community members, heads of local nonprofits, politicians, and community rabbis supported the fundraiser. The Eleanor Sue Finkelstein Award for Special Needs was presented to Jerry Hulick of the Washington Group Special Care Planning Team. The fundraising gala provided the perfect setting for thanking and recognizing our donors who keep the J on stable financial footing. • The J proudly acknowledges the individuals and corporate partners in its Giving Circles: 46 members of the Trustee Circle, 26 members of the Chai Society, 26 members of our Legacy Society, and 12 corporate sponsors. “The Washington Group Special Care Planning Team is a proud supporter of the Jewish Community Center of Northern Virginia (the J). The J’s vision of building connection and community and the strength of its special needs program compliments our mission of helping to make a positive difference in the lives of individuals with special needs, their caregivers, and other family members.” — Jerry Hulick, Special Care Planner Page 14 FUNDS PURPOSE FUND NAME Unrestricted Aquatics Camp Music Program Camp Scholarships Capital Expenses Shiri Rahamim Shlichut Program Cultural Arts Film Festival Fine Arts Health and Fitness JCC Maccabi ArtsFest® Judaic Studies Library School-Age Services Seniors Teen and Young Adult Staff Development Video Jewish Celebrations Fund Goulde-Kamen Fund Shirley Grossman Fund Adele Greenspon Fund Leon Kastner Scholarship Fund* Linda Reed Scholarship Fund Building Fund Shlichut Program Fund Joseph Shuman Memorial Fund Marshfield Associates Fund Michael Friedlander Fund Ruth Checknoff Memorial Fund Early Childhood Fund Film Fund Arts Fund Food for Shelters Intergenerational Fund Harry & Anne Reich Family Foundation Fund* Stephen Reich* JCC Maccabi ArtsFest® Fund Manny Gale Adult Education Fund Lynn Ran and Eleanor Finkelstein Library Fund Margaret Murray Fund Sandy & Mel Rosenblatt Fund Shelley & John Bond Fund Adler-Bennett Senior Fund* Edward Newman Memorial Fund Eugene Kaplan Memorial Fund Lore Edidin Memorial Fund Rosa Wohl Memorial Fund Senior Housing Fund Shirley Scher Memorial Fund Tico Bonomo Memorial Fund Sandy and Lenny Barmak Teen and Young Adult Engagement Fund** Shirley & Charles Dondes Fund for Leadership Development* Jeffrey M.
