JPMAA closed on Monday, June 19th

Dear JPMAA Membership,

We will be CLOSED on Monday, June 19th, in honor of the Juneteenth Holiday.

It is our usual policy to close when Boston Public Schools are closed.

Juneteenth has been celebrated in Texas since 1865. It is a Federal Holiday now that commemorates African American freedom, and indeed Freedom for all of us.

Please remember that we always encourage folks to make up any classes missed!

***************

A burst pipe in the business next door has caused flooding in our space and we have to CLOSE this week, from (today) Tuesday 1/10 through the completion of the cleanup.

If all looks good, hopefully we can reopen as soon as Wednesday 1/18 or Thursday 1/19.

A significant amount of water got under several of the mats – fortunately they are fine. David and Lucy went in this morning and moved all equipment and mats out of the way in order for the crew to come in with wet vacs and fans. We have been told by JPNDC that this may take some time to completely dry out the affected areas.

We apologize for the inconvenience, especially since we are really just getting back to training after the holiday. As always, please feel free to make up classes / take any extra classes to make up for what you miss.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. We will keep you updated!
