If you see children in the downstairs lobby, bouncing balls and knocking ceiling tiles out of the grid overhead – even if it is not your child – please tell them to stop! (This actually happened and the adults did nothing.)

****PARKING****

Please remember the Shul rents parking spaces from Parkland Pool, behind the Shul building. Members should not park in the Shopping Center lot unless shopping there. Also, please be careful when crossing the street to the Shul. Traffic in and out of the Shopping Center, both on Lamberton and Arcola, can be heavy at times. Proceed with caution! Finally, when parking in the Pool lot behind the Shul, do not block in the large moving vans parked there. They rent that space and can have your car towed away if you block them in.
