We’re pleased to announce that we will be installing brand new tiles on our rooftop flooring. This work will begin Sunday, April 22 through mid-May. While we understand the temporary closure of the roof may be an inconvenience to our members, we hope that you will join us on the renovated roof for our spring and summer programs and events!
