Safety is our number one priority

Marcy Friedland, FRD Director

We are almost ready for the Grand Opening of our new center but still have some delays due to Hurricane Ian. Security has always been one of our main concerns with building the Nina Iser Jewish Cultural Center. To that end, we have met with the Collier County Sheriff’s Office and with Jewish Federations of North America Secure Community Network. Meeting with them both on several occasions during the process, from drawings to completion of the building, we benefited from their knowledge, expertise and invaluable input.

For security purposes, we are asking everyone to provide their name and email address for use in creating a new badging system. Several emails have gone out with the link to register. All members of Federation will need to come to our Naples office, 2500 Vanderbilt Beach Road, Suite 2201, after they are registered to have their picture taken and receive their badge.

Badges will be required for each person to enter the building using card readers located at the front doors. Once inside the building, badges must be visible and worn on your person.

We ask for your patience and understanding while we undertake this monumental task and, remember, it is for everyone’s benefit to enjoy the many programs and events we are eager to bring to you while remaining safe and secure.
