We want to take this opportunity to thank former Assistant Director, Gabi Gordon for her dedication to CYJ Midwest. As you all know, Gabi brought her enthusiasm and ruach to CYJ. She created lasting relationships with both campers and staff that I know many of you will continue to cherish for years to come. Please find a note here from Gabi sharing her thoughts about her role as Assistant Director. We wish her all the best in her future endeavors.
