DRIVING DIRECTIONS TO THE JEWISH FEDERATION FOR THE SUNDAY JANUARY 29 EVENT

**Access to parking is through the street in the BACK of the Federation Building - Federal Highway.
The entrance code is #001. For GPS or Google maps use "4199 Federal Highway, Miami FL 33137" as the address.
The Federation phone is 305-573-9174 (security desk).

A marathon is scheduled downtown early Sunday morning, which will mainly affect those of you who arrive from the south beach. The marathon map is shown under the president's blog at our web site www.jgs-miami.org together with additional information about the forthcoming event.

At any rate, we asked the security guard at the Jewish Federation to be prepared to open the front gate of the building on the Biscayne Blvd. side in case Federal Highway (at the back of the building) is not accessible.

Please note down the phone number of the security desk as shown in the above instruction.

THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO CALL THE BUILDING ON SUNDAY.
