After almost a year and a half of virtual events, we were excited to have our first in-person Sunday Circle of the year! Sunday Circle took place on October 3rd, at our new location, the Stroum Jewish Community Center (SJCC). It was so great to see all of our amazing kids and volunteers smiling, having fun, and making new friends. Like always, there were many fun activities for the kids and volunteers to do such as music with Wendy and Dianna, and Kung Fu with Sifu Kim.
