Hi Rhonda Spivak,

I understand that you are in Israel right now.  Hope you are having a wonderful time.  I wanted to let you know that the Rady JCC notified Herzlia today that Rady will not be pursuing the option of constructing a daycare at Herzlia.  After careful consideration, the Rady JCC came to the conclusion that the different requirements of the two organizations could not be reconciled.

Expanding child care remains a top priority for the Rady JCC.  We will continue our work to identify suitable space to expand daycare and meet the needs of the families in our community.  We have been in touch with the province and they remain committed to working with us to develop new spaces. 

Take care.

Gayle
