Building Hours:Friendship Circle is back welcoming senior adults to our regular social gathering that offers special programming to entertain, educate, and engage. From musical performances and guest speakers to hands-on activities and demonstrations, each meeting provides a wonderful opportunity to connect with others in the community. A vegetarian meal is also provided at each meeting, adding a delightful culinary touch to our gatherings.
Mark your calendars for the Fall Opening Luncheon on Monday, September 9, from 11:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. This year’s kickoff event will feature a special activity led by visiting artists from Israel, offering a unique cultural experience you won’t want to miss. Join us for a memorable afternoon filled with good food, engaging activities, and the warm camaraderie that defines our group.
As we launch the 2024-2025 season, this luncheon is the perfect opportunity to reconnect with old friends and welcome new members. Enjoy a delicious lunch while we set the tone for an exciting year ahead. We’re also excited to introduce Simon Katz, our new Membership and Program Associate. Born and raised in the Lehigh Valley, Simon is proud to call Allentown his home. He attended preschool at the JCC and graduated from Salisbury High School before earning his Bachelor’s Degree in Sport, Tourism, and Hospitality Management with a concentration in Event Planning from Temple University.
Simon has worked as an event Planner in Philadelphia, where he planned and executed a wide range of events, from arts-focused block parties to large-scale conferences across the Mid-Atlantic region. Returning to the Lehigh Valley last fall, Simon is eager to make a positive impact in a community he’s passionate about. He’s excited to bring his experience and enthusiasm for creating memorable experiences to the entire JCC community, especially the Friendship Circle.
