Fond Farewell

As the term of Assemblywoman Janele Hyer-Spencer comes to an end, we would like to acknowledge two Community Liasons who were ever-present at our meetings for the past four years:

Ann M. Clinton



Stanley Mroz


We wish them well in their future endeavors, and are forever grateful for their help and service to our community!

Department Of Transportation (and Cooperation)

We were overwhelmingly pleased with the candor of our guest speaker at the December meeting - Department of Transportation's Staten Island Borough Commissioner Thomas Cocola.
His office has provided great assistance to us in the past and has overseen an abundance of improvement projects across SI.



We compiled an assortment of local issues and presented them to him in the form of photos. One of which was addressed the very next day.
The sidewalk cut at the S/E corner of South Railroad Avenue and Hamden Avenue was subject to a utility cut in early 2009, and has since remained with an uneven and unsightly patch.






We will provide updates as progress is made and will be requesting input from the community for future improvements.

November's Meeting

Veteran's Day poem read by Elena Brady:

They Did Their Share

On Veteran’s Day we honor
Soldiers who protect our nation.
For their service as our warriors,
They deserve our admiration.

Some of them were drafted;
Some were volunteers;
For some it was just yesterday;
For some it’s been many years;

In the jungle or the desert,
On land or on the sea,
They did whatever was assigned
To produce a victory.

Some came back; some didn’t.
They defended us everywhere.
Some saw combat; some rode a desk;
All of them did their share.

No matter what the duty,
For low pay and little glory,
These soldiers gave up normal lives,
For duties mundane and gory.

Let every veteran be honored;
Don’t let politics get in the way.
Without them, freedom would have died;
What they did, we can’t repay.

We owe so much to them,
Who kept us safe from terror,
So when we see a uniform,
Let’s say "thank you" to every wearer.
