December 2020 Newsletter

Dear Friends,

Join the Junior Branch Sunday, Dec 6 for a virtual cookie-a-thon.  We will be baking and decorating cookies together and celebrating the holiday season.  Click to register for the cookie-a-thon.

On Saturday, Feb 13, the Junior Branch will offer an abbreviated, one day,  in-person Winter Minicamp for a limited number of participants.  For more information and to register, visit the Minicamp page on our website here.

As you may have heard, CISV USA decided to cancel the hosting of all international programs and the sending of all delegations hosted by other countries in June to Aug 2021. For more information, you can read the CISV USA Board letter here.

In view of that decision, CISV Jacksonville is pivoting to virtual and local activities.  We have some great ideas for activities for this summer for our CISV youth and families.  Please let us know what activities might interest you by completing this Survey.

Thanks to everyone that joined the Merch Party. We raised over $4,600 in donations and store sales. The store is still open.  There’s great swag for the holidays. Shop now.

You can also select CISV Jacksonville for smile.amazon.com for all your Amazon shopping during the year.

Stay safe.

In Peace and Friendship,

Kerry
