Various Announcements

COMMUNITY STUFF:

The next CB1 meeting is Jan 13, 6:30 pm
Swinging 60's Senior Citizens Center, 211 Ainslie Street
A hot topic will be the status of Teresa Toro, who was until recently the indefatigable head of the Transportation Committee, and was asked to step down last month during the bike lane controversy. We at NAG respect Teresa's hard work and efforts to keep the community informed about board activity, and hope this is resolved quickly.

The next 94th precinct meeting is Jan 20, 7:3 pm
Capital One bank, 807 Manhattan Ave--enter around the corner on Calyer (where the ATMs are) and the meeting is in the basement.
These meetings are informative if you want to see who has the police's ear and who doesn't--if you don't show up, they won't know your concerns. Great to go if you want to talk about bike enforcement, nightlife issues, etc.


HELP PEOPLE:

Do you have photos or videos from election night in Williamsburg?
The website 11/04/08 is collecting them, and they also want to hear your experiences. Please take the time to go help them out--the truth helps everyone.

Did you witness an accident on NYE?
A young woman was injured in a hit and run near Lorimer and Van Eyck after exiting a cab at 7:30 am. She has head trauma and broken bones--was found on the sidewalk in a puddle of blood without her purse. If you saw or know anything, please contact jackierodigital@gmail.com
