Cover photo: Pitzele grandchildren ready for Camp JCC (left to right) Ori, Eitan and Lyla Newly-elected JCC Board President Keith Pitzele’s passion for the Indianapolis JCC began in his childhood. Growing up in Gary, he didn’t have a community center. So when his BBYO youth group came here for an event, he was in awe. “I saw all the kids playing. They had a swimming pool. They had basketball courts. I thought ‘wow, this is wonderful!’” he recalled. After he got married and moved here for a job, the first organization he and his wife, Rita, joined was the JCC. “All of our kids went to camp here. Two of my children were camp counselors. And both my daughters-in-law were, too.” This is the second time Keith has led the JCC board (he was president 1991-93). “Maybe I’ll do it better this time,” he laughs. He’s serious about making the JCC the place to be. “I asked for a nametag (and) I would encourage people to come up and talk to me…good or bad,” he said. Keith works out every other day for about an hour. He goes to The JCC has played a big part of Pitzele family life and BodyPump (“Rachell is great!”) and on other days he lifts weights.

    Tasks Four/Six: Destinations and Programming In these tasks, the team developed an understanding for destinations, events, programming, and gathering places along the White River. The team evaluated existing and potential destinations in both Hamilton and Marion Counties, and recommended new catalyst sites and destinations along the River. The following pages detail our process and understanding of important destinations for enhanced or new protection, preservation, programming and activation for the river.

Working together with the client team and the public, the vision plan identified twenty-seven opportunity sites for preservation, activation, enhancements, or protection. The sites identified on the map at right include existing catalysts, places that exist but could be enhanced, and opportunities for future catalysts. All of these are places along the river where a variety of experiences can be created or expanded. This long list of destinations or opportunity sites is organized by the five discovery themes. Certain locations showed clear overlap among multiple themes and enabled the plan to filter through the long list to identify seven final sites to explore as plan ‘focus areas’ or ‘anchors’.
