ANNUAL MEETING

CINCO DE MAYO DANCE-A-THON

The Tucson Jewish Community Center would like to extend a warm welcome to Todd Rockoff who joins us as our new chief executive officer and replaces Ken Light who will retire after 27 years of service. Todd joins us from the Shaw JCC of Akron, Ohio where he has been Executive Director since 2002. He has received several honors from the JCC field in the area of program development and is a part of the National Training Staff for JCC Association in the areas of staff development and customer service. Todd initially entered the JCC field because of his connection to the JCC he grew up at in Rochester, New York.

“I’m thrilled to join the Tucson JCC family in a leadership capacity,” says Todd. “I look forward to building on the success that Ken has built over the past three decades. The launch of the capital campaign will provide a wonderful jumping off point for new and exciting programs for the entire community. I am looking forward to meeting everyone and being a part of the J’s legacy.”

Todd will formally take over the position of CEO starting July 8, 2013. Please help us in welcoming him to Tucson!

PLEASE WELCOME OUR NEW CEO

It is a story of characters enmeshed in their imperfect love for one another in a heartbreakingly complex world. Free and open to the public.

The 2013 Stingrays Lap-a-Thon will be held May 11. Team members will swim between one and three miles during a two-hour time period, to raise money for team training and competition equipment.

Bart McGuire, a long-time member of the Tucson JCC, won three national titles in dou-bles squash this spring: the United States and Canadian National Championships in the 70+ age group, and the United States Century Championships. This brought his total num-ber of national champi-onships to ten.

Since there are no doubles courts near Tucson, Bart trains at the JCC by playing singles and practicing in a singles court that has been expanded to racquetball length (the back wall is moveable), to more closely replicate the size of a doubles court.

Bart also serves on two for-profit boards of directors and one not-for-profit; serves occasionally as an arbitrator; and has established a program to provide financial assistance to needy retirees from the international women’s tennis tour, where he served as CEO from 1998 through 2001.

Congratulations, Bart!
