Shalom,
Allow me to introduce myself …. I’m Susan Baram. It is my privilege to serve as President of the Jewish Senior Citizen’s Centre. It is with great enthusiasm that I step into this role. I believe in the mission, values, and future of the Jewish Senior Citizen’s Centre.
The Centre kicked off the 2027 membership year with a wonderful time connecting, sharing, and enjoying each other’s company. Lunch was served followed by an engaging speaker. Lisa Miller shared fascinating stories and anecdotes from her remarkable career as a sports broadcaster. She shared her journey of breaking new ground in sports announcing. She spoke about overcoming obstacles through determination and perseverance. Her message inspired us to believe in ourselves, and pursue our passions. Age should never be a barrier to try something new, and embrace new opportunities. A delicious lunch was enjoyed by all thanks to Daniella and our wonderful, dedicated team of volunteers. If you weren’t able to join us this time, hope you will join us for our next gathering!
We are truly blessed with ongoing amazing programs and activities throughout the year to meet everyone’s needs and interests. Fitness programs such as yoga, tai chi, and regular exercise designed to help us stay active, healthy and fit. There is NO age limit on fun and friendship.
Our Young at Heart Choir meets every Monday, filling the Centre with music as we get ready for the annual Chanukah concert and performance. It’s not too late to join us in song and share the joy of music.
Starting soon our famous Learning and Retirement Series begins to support and connect with our members. There is always something for everyone to enjoy. Wonderful speakers have been lined up to engage our minds, spark new ideas and inspire us. Stay tuned for more details as registration begins soon.
