When will we break ground?

As we are writing this article, we can’t help but feel the excitement that is building with our “Room to Soar: Building Our Dream” expansion. We are now in the final stages of selecting our contractor, culminating an extensive review process. In addition, we are only a few months away from the actual groundbreaking (!), which is planned for shortly after the High Holidays. We anticipate that the project will take about a year and will keep you updated each month on the progress of the project.
 
We were glad to see so many of you at the Room to Soar celebration. [Click to see the video.]
We sincerely thank Amy and Craig Schiffer for hosting the celebration.
 
As we have communicated previously, we will be initiating additional fundraising activities in the fall to provide us with sufficient funds and enable congregants who were not part of our Summit JCC family during our initial fundraising efforts to participate. We ask that you approach these efforts with a generous spirit and an awareness of what our expansion will mean to not only future generations, but our current community. In addition, we ask those of you with outstanding pledges to consider making your payments as soon as you can. Now that we are entering the stage of the project where we will begin to make payments on the actual building construction, we really need everyone to meet their financial commitments.
 
Thank you for your commitment and enthusiasm. On behalf of the Room to Soar committee, we wish you and your families an enjoyable summer and a happy and healthy 5771 as we look forward to a new home in the new year.

 

And don’t hesitate to contact our Room To Soar co-chairs, Julie Schwarzwald and Richard Barron, if you have any questions.
