Dear Friends and Supporters of SJN:

At yesterday’s SJN meeting, I shared a decision of the Board of Directors to adjust our program offerings. 

Starting in June, SJN will continue to offer bi-monthly meetings at Temple Chai on the first and third Tuesdays.  Those meetings will focus on curriculum-related subjects and other skill development presentations, guest speakers from business and industry.

At the college venues:  Glendale Community College, and Chandler-Gilbert or Mesa in the Southeast, GateWay–we will plan to host special events.  These will be programs like panel discussions, social networking, alumni gatherings, employer nights.   The schedule of those events is the main change.  Rather than bi-monthly meetings, we will plan to host events monthly or every other month, perhaps rotating among the college campuses.  The SJN website events calendar will contain the schedule.

SJN isn’t going away or losing interest in outreach to people around the Valley.  As an all-volunteer organization, we need to find the best way to allocate our resources.  People from around the Valley are, of course, welcome to join us at the regular events at Temple Chai in the North.

We THANK all the volunteers and supporters who make it possible to make SJN available to the community.

Regards,

Christine Vicari, Founder-President
