MANY JEWISH CENTRES RUN SENIOR CITIZEN PROGRAMS
NEW YORK—-There are now ,125 Jewish Community Centres an^ YM-YWHAs, (more than one-third of the 355 affiliated with the Niational Jewish Welfare Board), conducting regular recreational, cultural and social programs for older adults or senior citizens, it is reported in a survey of older adult services in Jewish Community Centres published in Vol. VII (1956-57) of the JWB Year Book: The Jewish Community Centre Field.
The 196-page. JWB Year Book, the primary sources of basic information concerning the operations of Jewish Community Centres, is published by the Jewish Community Centre Division of the National Jewish Welfare Board, 145 East 32nd Street, New York. Copies are available at $1.50 each.
The 125 Centres sponsoring activities for senior citizens conduct 135 different programs serving 20,000 people. These represent 7 per cent of the
potential Jewish older adults living in the comimunities served by the 125 Centres. The Year Book study points out that these programs are now becoming year-round operations, with 64 of the Centres continuing their activities through the summer and 21 offering camping programs for older adult^.
In its study of membership, the JWB Year Book found that nearly one-third of all Centres affiliated with JWB (the national association of Jewish Community Centres and YM-YWHAs) had more than half of thb Jewish population in their communities: enrolled as members. Twenty-five per cent of the Centres had between 30 and 49 per cent of the Jewish jwpulation enrolled.
In onersixth of the Centres (excluding New York City), at least 70 per cent of the Jewish population in the community were Centre members. The smaller the community, the larger the ■proportion of the Jewish population on the Centre's rolls, the Year Book notes. ,
