    • El Cerrito July 4 celebration and Solano Stroll September 10. Contact Larry Fox to volunteer.
  • Thanks to all who helped replace the sand and wood chips in the playground.
  • Religious School students and families enjoyed planting two trees for Tu B’Shvat. They then sampled 27 different kinds of fruit and later brought home cups planted with seeds. The next week they were among those who learned to bake hamantaschen.
  • Howard Lacheen is our new Building and Grounds Chair. Lauren Schiffman has joined the Marketing Committee.
  • The fallen tree and two other dying trees were removed. The trees are at the end of their life span, and more will need to be removed in the future.
