Family

admin on May 30th, 2007

On June 3 from 12 -4 we are having our Splash Bash. It is a fun- filled afternoon for the entire family. Come enjoy food, music, fun inflatables swimming and hanging out with your friends and a chance for some great giveaways. It is open to members and non-members.  We are looking for families to get acquainted and involved with the J through volunteering.  If anyone could give an hour to volunteer we would really appreciate it!  Please contact Erin @ 735-8026 if you can join our volunteer Shalom Star team.
