This is the exclusive site of the NORTHWOOD BRANCH
(arguably the best Branch) of the Jewish Association of Cultural Societies
known as "JACS". The organisation was founded in 1978 as the
brainchild of our President, Annette Pearlman. A small working committee was
set up and agreement was obtained from Stanmore Synagogue to hold weekly
meetings at it's premises.
An
executive committee was formed headed by Annette Pearlman as Chairman and the late
Rev. Saul Amias as President. Mr Louis Goodman was invited to chair and form a
committee at Stanmore and to sit on the executive. Mrs Bell Myers was then
appointed Secretary to the executive. The Stanmore Branch was inaugurated in
May 1978. The aims and objectives of the JACS organisation were to provide
weekly meetings for the active retired and semi retired professional and
business person.

CELEBRATES 30
YEARS
In 1978 a new organisation was
formed for the active retired and semi-retired. Doubters said that it would
never get off the ground. Now it is one of the largest organisations within the
Jewish Community. And what of the future? We offer a challenge to the
next generation of newly retired to come forward and carry on where we leave
off, to expand our organisation and it's activities and to carry it forward to
the 50th. Anniversary, interested? then come and visit us.

ARE 26 BRANCHES COUNTRYWIDE AND APPROXIMATELY 2,500 MEMBERS AT THE LAST COUNT.
