We've Landed a Jewel

I have to share a story that I heard recently about our president, Dr. Johnson. I have often heard him say that when he came to JCC he quickly realized that he had "landed a jewel". Well, I think JCC has landed a jewel in return. It was just a simple act of kindness, but the story has traveled quickly. It was picture day at the JCC Child Development Center recently and there was one child, a little boy who came prepared for pictures wearing a tie. He was complimented on his sharp looks that day and his reply was that he would like to be the president of this college. Someone called Beverly Gibson to share the cute story, and Beverly shared the story with Dr. Johnson. Dr. Johnson stopped what he was doing and he paid the small child who wanted to be the president of this college a visit to wish him well. It was just a small act of kindness, but speaks millions about the character of our president Dr. Johnson. Thank you Dr. Johnson for recognizing this small child and his ambitions. What you did could make a huge impact in his life. We are glad to have landed a jewel in you!
