The Jewish Community Center will host its Annual Meeting on Thursday, June 5, from 6:45-9 pm. All JCC members, friends and supporters are welcome to attend. The event is free to the community. Anyone planning on attending is asked to call the JCC office to make a reservation at 607-724-2417.
The evening will begin with a dessert buffet prepared by chef Victor Torres from 6:45-7:30 pm. From 7:30-8:30 pm, there will be a series of awards presentations honoring those individuals who went above and beyond in their service and dedication to the JCC this past year.
Two of the awards being presented are going to longtime members of the community. Harry Cohen will receive the JCC Chai Award for 18 years of dedicated service to the Center and for the positive role he has played in the lives of thousands of children who grew up under his guidance. Rabbi Rachel Esserman will receive a special Presidents Tikkun Olam Award to thank her for the importance of the contribution she has made to the community through her 24 years as a member of The Reporter staff.
The event will conclude with the swearing in of a new JCC president, Justin Salkin, and the installation of the 2025-26 JCC Board of Directors.
