Building Hours:On September 8, Friendship Circle kicked off its 66th season at JCC! We welcomed over 40 people to the opening luncheon, and it was really wonderful to have everyone back in the building. Bruce Fagan, a multi-talented musician who plays a keyboard and synthesizer that feels like it’s from Star Trek, joined the group for a variety music show. Bruce performed classic hits from the 50s through the 80s and had the group tapping their feet and singing along! All in all, it was a fantastic way start the season.
Looking towards the future, this season of Friendship Circle will run until May 12, 2026, and there is a fun-filled lineup of programs to look forward to. Some highlights include another performance from the Parkland High School Orchestra’s Strolling Strings, a seminar on upcoming changes to Medicare for 2026, a comedy performance, and a talk on the golden age of radio in America.
Friendship Circle is a JCC program for people aged 50+ that meets two to three Mondays per month. Meetings take place from 11:45 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and include a vegetarian lunch (not under rabbinic supervision) and themed programming. Topics range from musical performances and fitness activities to educational talks, and more! Annual dues are $72.00 and cover all 22 meetings and lunches for the 2025-2026 season.
