Greetings!,

The Garden of Eden Campus has been thriving as our JCC campers enjoy their summer days here with the many amenities and activities offered. It was wonderful to see so many members of the community attend the JCC Member Appreciation Night on Wednesday - the parking lots were filled and the pool area was jumping!

In addition to the bustling campus activity, Federation's PJ Library program is now up to 215 subscriptions in our first year. Our next event will be in Rehoboth Beach on Wednesday, July 18th (see article below for more details). Federation's One Happy Camper program is sending 10 campers thus far to Jewish overnight camp this summer. We are still accepting second session requests for first-time campers.

With the strength of a people and the power of community, we are Improving Our World...TOGETHER.

Shabbat Shalom,

Seth J. Katzen

Chief Executive Officer

P.S. - Federation is seeking to hire an Office Manager to join our professional staff. Please email seth.katzen@shalomdel.org for a job description and more information.
