Hi and Happy Spring, let’s enjoy this great weather while it lasts!
One of the main goals of just about every J is to build and nurture community. For our J it’s a priority. What I’ve come to realize at Valley of the Sun is that it is happening in a very cool way. We have, in a sense, a bunch of small communities that become one large and diverse community.
Take a walk at any time of day at The J and you’re most likely to see some or all the following:
- The Mahjong and Canasta players in the lobby halls – a community
- 70+ swim team kids training each day – a community
- Our once-a-month Bagels crew – a community
- The morning gang that walks the track each and every morning – a community
- Summer campers – a community
- The morning Pickleball players – a community
- The early morning Master swimmers – a community
- Our Early Childhood families – a community
- Our Zumba dancers – a community
- Sunday morning pick-up basketball players – a community
- The water aerobics gang – a community
And I could go on … Please know that when you become part of one of these smaller communities, you help us become one large, amazing community. You make us The J Family we are.
Some upcoming events and programs to be aware of:
