Whenever I leave my office, I have to leave at least 10-15 minutes early in order to get where I’m going on time. It’s the great joy of my job to walk through the hallways and lobbies of our buildings and visit with all the new friends I’ve made since I started here a year ago.
As director of FRIENDS of JSL, I am thrilled to help connect this community to the larger community, bringing people of all ages together to support the incredible older adults who live here. I invite you to join me.
There are so many ways you can provide support and / or get involved. If you’re not sure exactly where you might fit, I’d be happy to help you find the perfect opportunity.
Some of the ways you can be a part of FRIENDS are:
Volunteer – Whether it’s running a Bingo game, working in the boutique or bistro, visiting residents, or leading an activity based on your interests, JSL is a very busy place and there’s always something to do here.
Shop and Nosh – Our boutiques, bistro and café are all volunteer operated and the proceeds support the programs and events that keep us all busy. So, come for lunch and visit the boutique for clothes, gifts, greeting cards, etc. We have something for everyone.
Tributes – Donate to the FRIENDS of JSL Fund in honor or memory of a dear one.
Join a Committee – FRIENDS plans two annual community programs to honor our older adults – The Bessie Spector Oldest Jewish Americans Celebration and Lives Well Lived.
Please feel free to call or email me to explore how you can be a FRIEND of JSL!
