Reducing Deliveries Of Publications

At our September meeting a concern was raised about the duplicate delivery of the East Shore section of the Staten Island Advance. Through email correspondence, I was able to cease the delivery to my own house. But, other homeowners have reported that the delivery continues.

Here is the contact information to be removed from the delivery route:

Rick Paoli
Staten Island Advance Distribution
718-981-1234
paoli@siadvance.com


Also, here is the number to request to be removed from the delivery route of the New York Newsday Marketeer:

1-800-376-6222

This also reduces consumption of our natural resources and removes content from our waste stream.

Election Time

As Election Day nears, our meetings tend to draw our local politicians. The recent meeting featured Judge Honorable Philip G. Minardo as the guest speaker. He is seeking his second 14 year term and is running (unopposed) on the Democratic, Republican, Independent, and Conservative party lines.


Also, John Luisi, candidate for Borough President. He is running on the Democratic and Working Families party lines.


We wish them both the best of luck on November 3rd!!!

Scott LoBaido Paints Grant City Mural

Staten Island's renowned artist, Scott LoBaido, painted a new flag right here in Grant City. The location is the side wall of CrayonBlu, which is visible from the 7-11 parking lot.

It was funded by Councilman James Oddo and the family owned business, Sal DelPriore Landscaping, of GCCA treasurer, Luisa DelPriore.

Arrangements are made through the Where To Turn organization's program "Flags Across Staten Island".

Our community is forever grateful to all involved!
