Page 9-THE NEWS-February, 1984 The JCC Two Groups Involved In Holiday Camps Chai Group lecture with Rab bi Rocklin. Jennie Levy, (L), and Violet Adler, (R). During the school holiday the JCC held a six day Winter Mini Camp. The two groups involved, pre*school and K-6, par ticipated in two, three-day ses sions that revolved around a special theme. The first session, revolving around "'Make Believe and Fantasy," brought such magical delights as the Harle quin Mime Company, Jim Wimberley and his puppet pals, and a visit from Chucky Cheese and Mr. Munch. The children kept very busy mak- ing puppets and marionettes, watching movies, playing with balloon animals, making up their own mime skits and cooking goodies such as pop corn, vegetable soup and mat- zo brei. Session two’s pre-school theme was, “Winter Wonderland” and the K-6 theme was “The Olympics.” Pre-schoolers wondered at the changing seasons and changing environment, made bird feeders, calendars, guacamole, started plants growing and built “snowmen.” The older group selected Olympic teams, learned about fitness and nutrition, made team slogans and signs, and worked hard on their own team vests. All of their hard work culminated in an official Olympics complete with the candle ceremony, theme music and opening of an awards ceremony. The two teams, the Galil and the Stars (as in Star of David), would have match ed the spirit at any tourna ment Carolina game! Top all of this off with a roller skating trip and a visit to Showbiz Pizza and you’ve got 6 days of vacation fun that wiU long be remembered. Specicd thnks go to Lari Massachi, Peggy Davis, Daniel Bernstein and David Bernstein, our counselors and aides. Their hard work and en thusiasm were responsible for one camper’s quote, “1 liked everything!!” Brieny ••• Board Member Of The Month In the coming months the Jewish Community Center will be highlighting the special contribution of its Board members to the success of the “J.” We anticipate recogniz ing the true spirit of volunteerism exhibited by aU our Board members in future issues of the “CJN.” Our first featured Board member is Barbara Zelickson, Adult Social Committee Chairperson.
