Prime Time
The Prime Time Group
- The most welcoming group at the GJCC is The Prime Time Group for active senior adults. They host a huge variety of activities including monthly dinners with interesting programs, monthly meetings, day and overnight trips, parties, brunches and lunches, monthly casino day trips, overnight casino trips, holiday programs, varied classes, cultural events including plays and the TPAC Broadway series, concerts, pot luck dinners with original entertainment, and opportunities for group participation in community events. The Prime Time group also hosts a yearly retreat or trip.
- The Prime Time Group also offers a series of bus trips highlighting Nashville sites.
- The Meryl Kraft discretionary fund is used for several things. It’s most important use is giving folks to who are unable to afford program fees the opportunity to participate with everyone else. The fund is also used for our “Jewish Education Series,” which explores Jewish topics.
- The Prime Time activities attract groups of 25-150 individuals at each of the many programs during the year.
- Health and Wellness is of the utmost importance to us all. The "Nourish Your Body" series for the 65+ crowd began two years ago and speakers touched on topics ranging from keeping your mind young to over the counter medications to heart health.
