rooms and the courtyard in the JCA are not appropriate spaces.
The JCA cannot be held responsible for members age 10 and over attending the JCA and not enrolled in an
organized activity. In addition, children age 10 and up are expected to behave in a mature manner when in the
building without parental supervision. Behavior that is disruptive and/or harmful to themselves or others may
result in the suspension of independent privileges.

no refunds will be granted.

JCA Member Code of Conduct The JCA is committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment for all members and guests. To promote safety and comfort
for all, we ask individuals to act appropriately at all times when they are in our facility or participating in our programs. We expect persons using the JCA to behave in
a considerate and responsible way and to respect the rights and dignity of other members, guests and staff. Our Code of Conduct outlines actions that are deemed
inappropriate. These include but are not limited to: inappropriate attire - appropriate attire in keeping with the values of the JCA must be worn at all times; angry or vulgar
language, including swearing, name-calling or shouting; physical contact with another person in any angry or threatening way; any demonstration of sexual activity or sexual
contact with another person; harassment or intimidation by words, gestures, body language or any menacing behavior; theft or behavior that results in the destruction of
property; carrying or concealing any weapons or devices or objects that may be used as weapons with the exception of law enforcement professionals; using or possessing
illegal chemicals (drugs) on JCA property, in JCA vehicles or at JCA sponsored programs; using or possessing alcohol on JCA property, in JCA vehicles or at unsanctioned JCA
sponsored programs; any other conduct of an inappropriate, threatening or offensive nature. Loitering is not permitted in or outside the JCA. Use of all tobacco products,
smoking (including e-cigarettes) is not permitted in or outside the JCA. The JCA and its property is a smoke-free/tobacco-free environment. The JCA is dedicated to the
enhancement of Jewish identity and the continuity of Jewish life. A person or persons’ act of proselytizing or teaching of non-Jewish principles in an attempt to convert
members or guests is prohibited, and persons engaging in proselytizing will be required to leave the building and grounds. In addition, the JCA reserves the right to deny
access or membership to the following persons: registered sex offenders; those accused/convicted of sexual abuse crimes; those accused/convicted of crimes relating to
the sale/use/possession/transportation of narcotics, habit forming, and/or dangerous drugs; those excessively or continuously using intoxicating beverages, narcotics,
or dangerous drugs. The JCA maintains a no tolerance policy concerning all of the above. Members and guests are encouraged to be responsible for their personal
comfort and safety and to ask any person whose behavior threatens their comfort to refrain from that behavior. If a member or guest feels uncomfortable in confronting
the person directly, they should report the behavior to a staff person or the Manager on Duty. Good personal hygiene, including the appropriate use of deodorant, is
expected as a consideration to other members. JCA staff members are eager to be of assistance. Members and guests should not hesitate to notify a staff member if
assistance is needed. In order to be able to carry out these policies, we ask that members and guests identify themselves to staff when asked. The Executive Team will
investigate all reported incidents. Suspension or termination of JCA membership privileges may result from a determination by the Executive Team if in their discretion
a violation of the JCA Member Code of Conduct has occurred.

Dear Friends,
Fall has been a whirlwind of activity at the JCA with
an array of spectacular programs to enrich you, our
members. The JCA has become the place for engaging
concerts and lectures. The Jewish Book and Film Festivals
were outstanding. Coupled with the Michele Block Gan
Yeladim Early Childhood Education Symposium, our
offerings this season have been unparalleled.

participate in our many group exercise classes, utilize a personal trainer, hit
some balls on our tennis courts or swim a lap in the indoor heated pool. You
will be happy you did and feel so much better as a result of your effort. Also,
remember to refer a friend for membership! Not only will you be rewarded for
your support in our referral program, but you will assist another in engaging

diverse interests of our members. The activities have been thoughtfully
planned and will be implemented with care to ensure a positive experience.
We are delighted that our locker room renovations have been so well received.

Enjoy an elegant evening supporting the JCA
On Saturday, February 28, 2015, the JCA will host its annual fundraising event, which will transport guests to an elegant
evening in the Caribbean. Proceeds from this event and its big ticket raffle will support JCA scholarship assistance,
financial aid and fee adjustments for JCA members in need. The JCA’s annual fundraiser benefits many JCA programs
including senior activities, Michele Block Gan Yeladim Preschool and Kindergarten, after school care and Summer
Camp tuitions. Last year, the JCA awarded more than $330,000 in scholarships to low and moderate income children,
families and senior adults, serving approximately 20% of JCA membership. As part of our mission, we offer a significant
number of programs that are free and open to the entire community.
Funds raised via our annual special event, our largest fundraiser of the year, allow the JCA to continue to serve people
of all ages, genders and diverse economic, social and religious backgrounds in Jacksonville. We are truly the place
where all people come together throughout their lives to enhance body, mind and spirit in an environment of fun,
harmony and friendship.
Sponsorships and ticket sales are crucial to the success of this event. For more information regarding tickets or
sponsorship opportunities for the event, please contact Lior at ext. 318 or [email protected] or visit jcajax.org.

Vandroff Art Gallery
Until January 7 The Photographs of Mark Sablow
January 9 to February 4 The Paintings of Susanne Schuenke
Her canvas is a blank tablet and her brush pens the narrative to the human conditions of passion, greed, suffering and
salvation. Her art is visually captivating, enticing the observer on a long journey to intellectually challenging horizons.
The opening for this exhibit is Monday, January 12, 6 to 8 pm.
February 6 to February 25 The Photographs of Marcy Appelbaum Reindl
Marcy is a freelance editorial and corporate photojournalist. She has received several awards during her career in
newspaper photojournalism, and in 1991, a photograph taken of a dramatic mid-air plane crash while on assignment
with the Florida Times Union was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. She is a graduate of the Southeast Center for
Photographic Studies in Daytona Beach Florida.
February 27 to March 25 The Paintings of Jan Koss
Jan began painting the beautiful scenes of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and Yosemite National Park as a diversion
from raising three children and tending to the demands of being a Navy wife. Jan’s love of vibrant color is reflected in
her capture of the natural beauty of landscape, flower and beachscape paintings now that she is settled in Florida.
