Big thanks to both Linda Rosenthal (left) and Gale Brewer for joining us! We welcome our new members Michael Hansen and Jess Tonn and Melissa Elstein and Eric Katzman.

Each year we vote on a neighborhood charity to receive a contribute from our treasury. It was a close vote between CITY MEALS ON WHEELS; WS CAMPAIGN AGAINST HUNGER and WEST END AVENUE PRESERVATION SOCIETY (WEPS) for our annual giving donations. This year the vote goes to CITY MEALS ON WHEELS and WS CAMPAIGN AGAINST HUNGER.

Those of you interested in supporting the important work of WEPS should contact Erika Petersen at epetersen.weps@gmail.com. WEPS has made great strides and brought increased visibility to the plight of many of our historic properties in the neighborhood.
