Community News

What is the best way to celebrate Pi Day? Yes, I know, indulging in the Boston Cream, Apple, or Pizza variations. BUT, another great way is to donate blood. Don't you just love the way marketers will make this kind of leap?

On Sunday, March 14th, we will be holding our next community blood drive from 9:00am to 3:00pm, at Congregation Ahavas Achim, 216 S. First Ave., Highland Park NJ.

See our webpage for more information.
