County Committee Reminder
County Commmittee members should have received a meeting notice for tonight, October
27, at 6 pm. NYU Medical Center, 250 1st Ave., 32nd Street, Farkas
Auditorium and should try to attend. The County Committee will meet
again to nominate the Democratic nominee to replace Assemblyman Steven
Sanders after the 1st of the year. The date will be determined by the
County Bilaws and political calendar. Our County Committee will be
very important in that selection process. We wish Assemblyman Steven
Sanders the best in his future endeavors. He has been the greatest
elected official, will be sorely missed and his successor will have
difficult shoes to fill. Any questions should be referred to Louise
Dankberg at 212 475 5347.
Press Conference to Save Union Square
Tilden, instrumental in the formation of Save Union Square park, participated in a press conference on Sunday, October 16th. The conference was called to send a message to the City Administration and the BID(Business Improvement District) that the community and elected officials are vehemently opposed to a private restaurant in the park. Parks are for children and the public. Where is the playground that has been promised for years?
Speakers included Scott Stringer, Dick Gottfried, Tom Duane and Rosie Mendez. Press coverage including NY 1, 1010 Wins, ABC, The Daily News, The Villager, and UPN-9. We think we made a large impact and hope the Administration will take us seriously. Present from Tilden were Paula Schaeffer, Eadie Shanker, Lyle Frank and Louise Dankberg.
