‘I Love The J Day’ to kick off week of celebration

Our “I Love The J Day” open house and membership drive will showcase everything that makes The J such a vibrant and welcoming community hub. “Whether you’re a longtime member or visiting for the first time, we’ll have something for everyone to enjoy,” says Membership Recruitment Director Laycee Dorsett. Get all the details and see what we've got in store for the whole week...

Eagle Scout project keeps on giving

Remember James Inscoe and his ambitious Eagle Scout project that enhanced our hiking/biking trail network? James returned to The J last week to donate to The J the more than $3,200 that remained from the funds he had raised for his project. Thank you, James!

Slice Crestline to host 'Dough Raiser' for The J

On October 21 Slice will donate ten percent of food sales for the entire day from its Crestline Store to The J (including to-go orders, online, Door Dash, etc.). And LJCC members (as always at all Slice locations! — just show your scan card) are eligible for a 15 percent discount. Then stick around to catch the trivia contest starting at 7 p.m.

Before we go...

FEELS LIKE HOLLYWOOD — A video crew from Alabama Power descended on The J earlier this week to shoot a promotional bit for the utility's electric vehicles program (discounts and rebates for EV owners). The team used Levite Field and the Sokol exit for scenes showing an on-the-go mom driving her electric vehicle. The J had been suggested as a location by AL Power employee — and 20-year LJCC member — Howard Torch. Our thanks to the Cohn ECLC parents who had to navigate around the production bustle.
