John Waterston is representing us as a match maker for Partnership for Transparency with Ethiopia (Addis Ababa Rotary) and we will monitor what develops. Another site where we are match-making is in India (Berhempur Rotary), state of Orissa. In early June, John helped give out nineteen $50 checks to worthy students at Thomas Edison High School. The workforce development and continuing education person at Montgomery College also has asked us to join the Community Partnership membership with Edison.

We heard from Cathy Nestoriak, Volunteer Manager at the Jewish Council for the Aging’s Heyman Interages Center. Cathy led an interesting discussion on our inherent biases and subtle discrimination. She had some suggestions on how to become more aware of these issues and encourage more diversity in our club,
The Center‘s intergenerational programs have brought children and older adults together for 30 years. Since 1986, approximately 45,000 children and older adults in more than 100 schools and senior facilities have benefited from participation in our programs.

JCA provides access, answers, and opportunities for older adults and family caregivers throughout the Greater Washington, D.C. region.

Their award-winning programs enable older men and women to maintain their independence, dignity, vitality, and self-respect despite physical, financial and emotional challenges. JCA connect the generations. They shatter stereotypes about growing up and growing older as they help make the National Capital Area a great place to age.

Their Jewish heritage and values guide and inspire their vision and work, and are proud to serve men and women of all faiths, ethnicities and income levels. Since our founding in 1973, JCA has helped all seniors thrive.
