This Sunday April 10, between 10am and 1pm, there will be a Hagolas Keilim (Kashering of Utensils) at the Mosdos Boys Building, 1508 Warrensville Center Road (formerly Warrensville Synagogue). Only metal and wood utensils will be kashered.  "Each item must be thoroughly cleaned and scrubbed beforehand so that no food traces remain, and there should be no hot contact (dishwasher included) in the 24 hours prior to kashering.   Requested donation : $10 to help defray costs."  

I will be available all next week, by morning appointment as well as after Maariv for arrangements to sell your Chometz.
