When There’s More Than One!
According to the 20 women who shuttled from the JCC
to Charlotte Radiology, the companionship, pampering
environment, and caring staff made this event a huge
success, but most importantly, a positive experience!

The night was mysterious and magical... kids wers'ldfessed in black,
doves disappeared and bunnies appeared out of nowhere. All of this
happened Saturday, May 4th at Enchanted Fantasyland at the JCC.
For those of you who aren't familiar with mammo
grams, they aren’t the easiest screening to endure. "It
was nice to have other people around me to talk to
and joke with about the procedure instead of sitting
there and worrying. It made the whole experience more pleasant”, said
Daphne Williams. This was a common response among our younger par
ticipants who are now excited to be due for another one this time next year
because they will be on the same schedule and can support each other.
Our older participants shared with Kim Veith their horror stories of previ
ous mammograms. “It was a relief to hear that this experience was a
much better one for these women", said Kim.
For those who didn't need a mammogram at this
time, they [as well as those who did] enjoyed
being pampered in Gorelick Hall. They received
skin care, massages, osteoporosis screening,
spinal exams, healthy snacks, and relaxation.
Thanks to Kim Veith, Wellness Director at the
JCC, for putting this event together, and Eli Lilly Pharmaceutical Company
for helping to sponsor this event! ■
Pre-kindergartners, kindergartners and 1 st graders came to Gorelick
Hall for a night of enchantment. Once the pizza was eaten and the
games were played, everyone sat down for the mysterious magical
tricks of Adrian Gragnon. Thirty children fell into a magical spell '
watching Adrian perform many tricks such as making at least 5 hoops attach
and re-attach into many different shapes and having dirty rags disappear from a soap box.
Enchanted Fantasyland is the 3rd
wave of Saturday night programming
here at the 'J', following Kids Night Out
and 2nd Grade Round-Up. All the kids
were thrilled to experience a night
geared towards them.
