International Maccabi Games come to West Bloomfield!

One of the most amazing things to come to our community in years, will be the JCC Maccabi Games this summer, and it is right around the corner.  YOU CAN BE A PART OF IT.  From August 17-22 there will be 2100 Athletes visiting from all over the US, Canada, Mexico, Israel, Great Britain, Venezuela and for the first time ever...Hungary, and 500 Athletes from the Detroit area.  The competitions in 14 sports, for these 13-16 year old boys and girls, is conducted at 20 venues in the northwest suburbs, and that is where you come in.  From Sunday to Friday you can have a great experience volunteering to help.  
 
We need volunteers! We ask you to volunteer for at least one 4 hour shift, so you can be a part of the Games this summer.  Young and old we will find you the perfect shift, or as many as seven "4 Hour Shifts" during the week. We encourage volunteers from ages 12 and up. We particularly need medical volunteers and Athletic volunteers to help conduct the Games.  Call 248-432-5500 to register. It's that easy!!

Not only will our guests, the visiting athletes and their families, love it, but so will you.  JOIN THE FUN.
 
If you have any question feel free to call or email the JCC Maccabi office: 248-432-5500, maccabi@jccdet.org
 
Please feel free to forward this and share it with your friends, family and neighbors. HELP US SPREAD THE WORD.
