MBJCC SECURITY/FACILITY ANNOUNCEMENTS | |
|
Dear Members, Program Participants, and Guests,
Please be advised that the MIAMI BEACH JCC always takes the security of all members, program participants, and guests in the most serious manner. As a result, our Security Committee, in coordination with our private security firm, and all staff are focusing greater emphasis on protocols and enforcement. Your participation, patience, and cooperation in this regard is necessary.
WHEN YOU ENTER THE MAIN ENTRANCE GATE OF THE MIAMI BEACH JCC, PLEASE BE PREPARED TO SHOW AND/OR PROVIDE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING
- MEMBERSHIP CAR HANGTAG OR FOB/PHONE CREDENTIAL (members)
- YELLOW PROGRAM CARD (non-member participants)
- GOVERNMENT ISSUED PHOTO ID (guests)
- DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAM/FACILITY YOU ARE COMING TO SEE/USE
PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT WITH STRICTER COMPLIANCE AT THE GATE ENTRY, ADDITIONAL WAIT TIME FOR ENTRY AND CHILD PICKUP MAY INCREASE. WHILE WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THIS MAY CAUSE, THE SAFETY OF OUR MEMBERS AND PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS IS PARAMOUNT TO THE MIAMI BEACH JCC.
Additionally, next week, our Front Service Desk will be redesigned, and we will change the entrance and exit flow into our lobby. Once completed, the north lobby doors will be used for entrance and exit and will be marked to indicate. The south lobby door will be used as an emergency exit only. These changes will allow for a more secure entrance and exit of the facility.
We thank you for helping us to implement all of the above facility protocols for a smoother and more secure experience at our Miami Beach JCC.
Sincerely,
MBJCC Staff Team
Please note: Member Car hangtags, fobs/phone credentials, and program cards for participants can be received at the front service desk.
