Annual JCC gift-wrapping starts today at mall

BOARDMAN

Christmas customs abound in families, communities and countries. One Valley tradition, now in its 44th year, is a holiday gift-wrapping project sponsored by the Jewish Community Center.

Kaye Doran, membership director at JCC, explained that B’nai B’rith started the fundraiser in 1966. It’s been at the Southern Park Mall for the last 15 years. JCC volunteers will wrap gifts from

9 a.m. to 9 p.m. today through Thursday and 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Friday at a station in the J.C. Penney concourse.
