Update from JCC 

This fall the events organized by JCC have hade a social theme. This has had a very positive effect on the amount of new members! In fact on October 7th we were very pleased to welcome JCC member number 100, se more below, and a day later we were already up to 101.  JCC being present at events in Amsterdam like Robyns concert and the football match between Holland – Sweden have most certainly helped to increase the interest for JCC! 

Past Events
September 17
About 30 JCC members and invitees joined the JCC Bar Hopping Amsterdam. This was very appreciated and ended up at Werck where many members were seen dancing and mingling late into the night. For more information and pictures go

September 20
Make Up Store hade a big show at Jimmy Woo. Make Up Store showed there new look Extreme. Despite the short time to register quite e few JCC members were there to witness this spectacular show.

October 8
Robyn at Paradiso was sold out and full house but of course JCC was there!
The lucky JCC members that were fast enough to get tickets through JCC met up at Palladium for a drink and a bite before the concert. At 20.30 pm the queue outside club and concert hall Paradiso was long but the staff worked efficient and we were inside in no time. Robyn lived up to the high expectations and delivered a show filled with crazy dance moves and new and old ‘goodies’ from her repertoire. JCC sung along we almost felt like back in Sweden again. Thanks Robyn for a good night!
