OF
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
In the Matter of Commending the )
Jewish Community Center on the ) RESOLUTION NO. 87-598
Occasion of its Facility )
Dedication )
The Contra Costa Jewish Community Center is a vital presence in
the life of central Contra Costa County, providing important
social service, cultural, recreational and educational
opportunities for both the Jewish and general population.
The phenomenal growth in the number of members, from 195
households in 1978 to over 1,100 in 1987, reflects the dynamic
evolution and growth of the local Jewish community. As a
natural companion to this growth, the ambitious community
project of raising the funds to purchase, renovate and expand
the site of the former Tice Valley School is a shining
testimonial to the vitality of the Jewish community in this
county.
The Contra Costa Jewish Community Center has pioneered high
quality early childhood services programming for over 15 years
and has stepped forward to respond to the great need of Contra
Costa families for quality child care before and after school
for single-parent families and those families in which both
parents work. Through the efforts of the Center, children are
picked up from several local schools and brought to participate
in an enriched program in a safe and caring environment.
Concern for the needs of the local senior adult population --
from the active retired who want to participate in the vast
number of activities surrounded by their peers to the frail
elderly for whom the Center means the difference between
loneliness and a full life -- has been a cornerstone of the
Center' s activities since its inception. The Center' s kosher
nutrition project is one of the finest senior nutrition sites in
the county. The Respite Center for Early Alzheimer' s and Frail
Elderly, established by the Center' s Board of Directors this
past winter, reflects a fine tradition of care and compassion.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors that
it commends the Contra Costa Jewish Community Center on the
occasion of its facility dedication on Sunday, September 27,
1987 .
PASSED AND ADOPTED o September 29, 19877 by a unanimous vote of
