Because the use of our space and the hiring of sufficient staff are dependent on our reservations and deposits, the following rules for refunds will apply.
If you sign up for an event online, or if you call and ask that you be billed for an event registration, you will be charged for that event regardless of whether you attend the event. Refunds will only be given if we receive notice of your need to cancel 24 hours in advance of the event (or by noon on Friday for Sunday morning events).
Should Beth El Congregation cancel an event or class due to weather or cancellation due to low attendance, your money will be refunded in full.
There is no refund given for donations to Beth El Congregation.
