I am Happy that I spent over 14 years in this special place but sad that I am leaving. What makes this place the most special, is the people who work here. It was a pleasure working with my co workers and everyone else who I came in contact with. More than just a workplace, we are a community. This is the best job I ever had, even though the job was hard at times, it has always been fun. Although I am walking out the door today to begin my retirement, I will never really leave this place and the JCC family I have been lucky enough to be a part of. Thank you all for every smile, every laugh, and every hug, so many special memories. -Sal Pintavalle
