Our local politicians are putting your tax dollars to work by organizing various community events and happenings to help increase to quality of life for residents. Two such events will be occurring on Friday, December 11.
Senator Marty Golden with JASA (Jewish Association for Services for the Aged) will be providing a trained geriatric social worker at his office at 3604 Quentin Road between the hours of 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. The social worker is open to all Marine Park and Community Board 15 residents. If you have questions contact the senator’s office at (718) 238-6044.
Assemblyman Steve Cymbrowitz will be hosting a traveling community office by way of traveling van in front of the Kings Highway Library, 2115 Ocean Avenue between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.
There’s a lot of voter outrage towards the mayor these days. The term limits fiasco, challenges to the mayoral control of schools policy, increased taxes and a crumbling of the political infrastructure statewide (okay, not sure if we can blame him for that one) – the challengers have a lot of ammo. Bloomberg, though, has even more bucks, and that means the other mayoral candidates will be kicking their campaigns old school: meet and greets.
“There is a Choice in the 2009 NYC Mayoral Election” is the main topic for the Madison-Marine-Homecrest Civic Association’s meeting on Thursday, June 18, at 7:30 p.m., in the auditorium of the King’s Chapel, Quentin Road and East 27 Street. Announced Democratic Party candidates Comptroller William Thompson and Councilmember Tony Avella have been invited to make statements and take questions. So bring your questions about their community and citywide initiatives, especially about important local issues like mayoral control, development and economic recovery.
This is Madison-Marine-Homecrest Civic’s final general meeting of the season. Also in attendance will be representatives for the 61st Police Precinct, the Department of Buildings, and elected officials.
When: June 18th at 7:30 p.m.
Where: King’s Chapel, Quentin Road and East 27th Street
Ed Jaworski, the executive VP of the Madison-Marine-Homecrest Civic Association, sent us the following announcement:
The Madison-Marine-Homecrest Civic Association, following a winter break, resumes its meetings on Thursday, March 19, at 7:30 p.m., at the King’s Chapel, Quentin Road and East 27 Street. The speakers and topics for the meeting include: Paula Rice, representing the Altzheimer’s Association, will discuss “Understanding dementia and where to go for help,” and Iggie Terranova, Director of Inter-governmental Affairs for the Department of Sanitation, will discuss regulations and take questions. The meeting is free and open to the public; for information or to join, phone 718-934-8214.
Ed doesn’t mention it because he’s pretty modest, but I’m not: there are usually free Dunkin’ Donut munchkins and coffee at these types of things. In these harsh economic times, how irresponsible do you have to be to turn that down?
The Madison-Marine-Homecrest Civic Association is having a meeting and party all in one next week and everyone is invited. You will have an opportunity to meet your neighbors, community leaders, and 61st Precinct representatives. Since all local elected representatives have been invited, you may have a chance to meet a few politicians, as well. This party-meeting is free and you are welcome to bring friends and relatives.
Here’s the information and some fine print from the flyer.
