Bazaar Dates for 2012:

Wednesday, July 11, 2012

Wednesday, August 8, 2012

WE’RE BACK! Yes, the two summer JCC Bazaars will be returning to our location on 24^th street on Wednesday, July 11 and Wednesday, August 8.  Usage of the new building has necessitated a few changes. The most obvious is the reduced outdoor space. The outdoor spaces will be dedicated to the large van vendors with a limited number of 5 x 8 spaces and even fewer 10 x 10 spaces. Inside the building we are able to fit many more vendors than in the past. With this additional indoor space we are hoping to attract many of the upscale vendors that joined us for the first time last year.  The Sisterhood is looking forward to using the new kitchen to its maximum capacity and providing some delicious delicacies for our attendees.

Needless to say, we will be calling for volunteers from our members to assist in servicing our vendors and guests. More importantly, we want to invite the public to come to shop while visiting our new Home.  It is an opportunity for us to “show off” our beautiful new sanctuary, school and facility.

If you want to help just give me a call on my cell phone 609-709-3160….Lynn Berkowitz, Bazaar Chair

Outside spaces are sold out, but there are plenty of inside spaces still available
