| A Social Club for Adults: Sababa Sababa Social Club is making its debut this month: The adults-only social event around the pool will be 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm on Wednesday, August 25th. We'll gather over beer, wine, and sangria, some light kosher snacks, and some terrific live music. So after you wrap up that late-summer round of golf or calls at the office, come on over to the JCC for a free evening (for JCC members) and help us kick off the inaugural Sababa Social Club event. For more information contact Jill Grossman, JGrossman@UJFT.org. |

| | Youth Sports Leagues Taking Shape The MACCABI GAMES has announced its location and dates for the Summer 2022 event. Teams from around the nation will compete in San Diego, July 31 – August 5 of next year, with a little luck and Covid correction. In that spirit... our athletics department has announced Fall and Winter sports leagues, and these teams may fill up quickly. We’re trying out a 3 - 6-year-old tee ball experience starting Aug. 23rd going into mid-Oct. Winter Swordfish swim team (ages 5 -18) registration deadline is Nov. 1; Youth Basketball will have a pre-season clinic (K - 5) on Monday afternoons starting in early Nov.; then move into Youth Basketball League beginning with the draft on Nov. 29. We encourage members to sign their kids up well in advance, so take a look at the link below. |

| | Pickleball Courts Ready to Roll at JCC As evenings begin to cool down, there's been renewed interest in our pickleball courts and league play. Our athletics director has reassured that if JCC members don't see the nets up on the courts when they arrive to play (we keep them in a court-side storage chest to protect them from the elements), guests are welcome and encouraged to remove them and slip them over the posts for play. Furthermore, as Fall and Winter begin, we have the ability to set up multiple courts in our gymnasium. Call ahead for indoor court setup, but know that our outdoor courts are always open and available for members. |
