Helping - Capital Campaign | Summit Jewish Community Center

For those of you who have driven by the Summit JCC recently, you’ve probably noticed a significant change in the lot adjacent to our parking lot. The site has been cleared, and the trees located between the parking lot and the adjacent condos have been removed. Over the next weeks, construction of a drainage system and retention basin will occur. This will be followed by building of the new parking lot. During this time, the Nursery School playground will be moved to the front lawn on the Kent Place Blvd. side of the building. We expect work on the building structure to begin in December, when foundation excavation is planned to be initiated.
In our efforts to complete the project on time (12-16 months) and keep to the budget, we are attempting to accelerate construction wherever possible. This can also have the added benefit of reducing interest costs on our bank loan. For those of you who have supported the Room to Soar project to date, please consider accelerating your pledge payments (e.g. paying a 5 year pledge in 3 years). This will enable us to reduce the size of the mortgage that we will need, which will ultimately reduce operating expenses to the SJCC.
For those of you haven’t yet participated, please consider supporting this historic project that will have such a momentous impact on the future of our SJCC. Again, the more people who participate, the lower the mortgage that will be required.
We will continue to keep you abreast of the development and next steps in the Room to Soar project.

Thank you for your commitment and enthusiasm. On behalf of the Room to Soar committee, we wish you and your families Shana Tova, a happy and healthy 5772 as we look forward to a new home in the new year.
