On the final day of each outdoor pool season, JCC members are invited to bring their canine guests to the JCC's annual "Pooch Pond" for an afternoon of swimming with their owners, meeting new friends, fetching toys in the water, and generally lolling around the pool.

Stay tuned for information about the 2010 Pooch Pond, coming up in September!
