Vaccination Policy Update – Effective Sept 21, 2022

Wed 09/21/22By Alec Erlebacher

September 21, 2022 JCC Members & Friends, The JCC of Syracuse continues to monitor the COVID-19 situation around the country and within Onondaga County. We pride ourselves on staying up to date with current CDC guidelines and recommendations, and change policies as needed within the organization to ensure the safety and well-being of all our members, staff and visitors. In light of the recent CDC guidelines, the JCC Board of Directors voted at the September 20, 2022 Board Meeting; that while we strongly recommend everyone to be vaccinated, we will no longer require proof of vaccination when entering the building. This decision was not taken lightly. We take the safety of every child and member very seriously at the JCC. All JCC staff will still be required to be fully vaccinated and boosted. As things change and evolve with COVID-19, we will continue to adapt our policies and procedures to keep everyone as safe as possible. We thank you for your continued observance of our COVID-19 protocols and for your commitment and dedication to the Jewish Community Center of Syracuse. Sincerely, Marci Erlebacher Steven Sisskind Marci Erlebacher Steven Sisskind Executive Director Board President

Mask Policy Update – Effective April 4, 2022

Sun 04/03/22By Alec Erlebacher

Dear JCC Community, The CDC issued a notice recommending masks be worn for indoor venues in Onondaga and two other Central New York Counties due to disproportionate rise in cases of Covid-19. This is likely to be a temporary directive and when the CDC notifies us, we will adjust our policy accordingly as hopefully cases once again decline. Effective April 4th, when we open, we ask that everyone be masked in the JCC until further notice. Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and support of our policies as we adjust to the ever-changing public health needs during this pandemic. Sincerely, Marci Erlebacher Executive Director and Steven Sisskind President
