NOTE: Thank you to those who came on May 23 despite the weather. We regret the decision to postpone to the June 6 rain date, but we did not feel right asking people to work outside while it was pouring rain.

In the event of bad weather that could affect a scheduled TI event, we recommend calling our TI Weatherline--301-762-7338, ext. 360. We publicized and used this call-in feature extensively during the February snowstorms, and updated it with the postponement information for May 23 as soon as the decision was made. Information is also sent via the listserves and B'kesher updates, the latter of which are sent to everyone in the synagogue with an email address.
