" Jewish Memorial Center, The JMC opened in 1949 to serve the social, recreational and educational needs of the Jewish community. In recent years it has mainly served the general community as a sports facility (mainly basketball) and for bingo. Thousands of local children have used the JMC and it serves as our “face” to the community. Some Jewish activities are still held at the JMC and the Federation office is located at the JMC free of rent or utilities. Federation provides financial support of the JMC’s operating expenses."Link
