Itamar News Updates – August 4 2017

Our community had a clean -up campaign this week which involved the many neighborhoods here. This included communal green initiatives beyond the picking up of garbage but also the fixing and painting of broken garbage dumpsters, corners where junk is usually dumped were cleaned up, mowing of thorny and bushy areas so that snakes and other reptiles will not have an opportunity to hide there, and the pruning and beautifying of the gardens and public rest areas. Adults and children participated in this very important endeavor. The greatest gift of all after all the hard work was the installation of a brand new playground right outside our synagogue and some cold ices given out to all!

We would like to give a big thank you to everyone that helped subsidize this year’s Youth and Children’s Camp program- A special thank you goes out to Anshey Chesed Congregation of the 5 Towns that has been helping out with this project for many years- a special special thanks to Eddie Wunsch!
