06/22…
At our meeting last night we had elections
and the current slate of officers was re-elected. We spent most of the
meeting talking about the Association and its role in our neighborhood. We
brainstormed about different methods for reaching out to the various groups
in our community. How do we reach those people who are not members and make
sure they hear about us?
We will continue exploring various options over
the next few months… so if you have suggestions, ideas, comments, send them
to us via email or snailmail… or give us a call. Find out how to reach us
in the “Contact us” section.

10/23 … If you heard Meagan
Devereaux describe the many responsibilities handled in the Office of
the Borough President at our meeting on October 19, then you gained a new
respect for the value of the Office. Ms.Devereaux also highlighted her role
in the process as she approached each day, never guaranteed about what will
be the hot topic of the day. Her insight was welcomed and revealing.
Next
month’s meeting will have Tom Wrobleski – the political writer for
the SIAdvance – who will share his insights with us as we look at the
results of November’s elections. Come and bring a neighbor and some
questions for our guest speaker. You can catch up on Tom’s insights in his

James Molinaro. Meagan will speak about the role and responsibilities of a
Chief of Staff as well as some of the unknown tasks that a Borough
President works on. So plan now on attending our next meeting and… bring a
friend.
09/24 … We had the
groundbreaking for the new New Dorp Beach Park on Friday Sep 22. The
park is located at the foot of New Dorp Lane between the Lane and Ebbitts
and between Cedar Grove and the ocean.
This will be a park for walking or jogging or strolls down to the
waterfront. We first asked Jim Oddo and Jim Molinaro about this many, many
moons ago. Thankfully they kept this idea alive in their minds and now have
brought it to the point of being constructed with the planned opening day
of June 2007. It is a wonderful success for our organization !
