Greetings ... I don’t know about you … but I have had my fill of snow and shoveling and shoveling and more shoveling. I am now thinking of Spring even though I know it is quite far off and we have all of February and March to go through.
Our dues notices for the 2011 year have been mailed. We rely on your support to keep the Association going and involved in this community. Your support is vital both through your dues and donations. The support of various merchants and entrepreneurs helps to finance our newsletter. Let us know if you are aware of a business in our community that would like to be represented in our newsletter.
Now for our upcoming year. Our next meeting will be on Thursday, February 17, 2011 at 7pm. We will be hosting Council Member James Oddo and his Civic Roundtable. At this meeting the heads of various Civic Organizations gather to hear updates from the Council Member and raise various questions and issues to him. This meeting starts at 7pm. So mark your calendars now and let one of your New Year’s resolutions be to become more involved in your community and hopefully this organization.
Did I mention bring a neighbor?
In March we will hear from Michael Reiser on the Recycling Program in New York City and some upcoming challenges and changes.
In April we will hear from Randy Lee on a proposal to develop a senior residence atop the Municipal Parking Lot on New Dorp Lane.
And in May we will be visited by Adena Long, the Borough Parks Commisioner.
We have a busy year ahead of us. Also, never forget that an important part of this dynamic is your feedback and participation. We need your comments, your concerns, your suggestions, your observations, your compliments, your complaints. It is your neighborhood. What is on your mind? Let us know at 718-979-6011, newdorpcentralcivic@yahoo.com or comment on the blog. Check us out at http://www.ndcca.blogspot.com for continuous updates.
Lastly and as I’ve mentioned quite a bit lately, I need you to sing aloud the need for civic involvement and invite your neighbors to join. The more voices the smoother and richer the sound. Thank you for your interest in our neighborhood. You live here. You know why it is a respected and desirable community. Be proud of it.
See you around the neighborhood.

Meeting Thursday April 15
Greetings friends and neighbors. I don’t know about you but the past few months have been brutal from a weather perspective. Sure we had a wonderful Easter weekend. But when I think back at the snowstorms followed by the rain and the terrible rainstorm which ripped up our neighborhood, I am looking forward to some nice boring predictable weather.
Our guest speaker this month will be Department of Transportation Borough Commissioner Tom Cocola. Mr.Cocola will be talking to us about the traffic situation in New Dorp with emphasis on the Safe Streets for Seniors program that was first implemented in our community.
Next month we will have a special presentation on the plans for the former Frank’s Nursery/ A&P property. Come and both hear and see what is planned for that space. And it’s not a flea market!
What about the Lane Theatre/ Uncle Vinnie’s Comedy Club? Been there? What do you think about it? Any recommendations?
Did you remember to complete and send in your census form? It is the only way we can ensure that we get what we are entitled to.
And you are aware of the upcoming hearings on the water rate hikes and the Charter Commission Revision hearings… right? Get involved. Read up on these things. Your future, your children’s future and your grandchildren’s future will be impacted by these things.
As mentioned last month, walk up and down the Lane and the Plaza. I have not seen this many empty stores in a decade. Many people are being careful with their money as they wonder about their jobs or continue searching for jobs. As long as the credit markets remain cautious the stores will reopen slowly as more of our people weigh very carefully the wisdom of opening a new endeavor. These are trying times. Look for opportunities to spend your money in New Dorp. Every little bit helps.
And I’m not even going to talk about our roads again. That too is getting a good amount of publicity. Moonscapes. Roads that were recently fixed are already cratered. Seams where new roads were joined together are scarred with holes. What happened? Yes, I know it snowed. It snows every year. Never before have I seen such widespread cratering. What gives? Has the mixture of asphalt they use changed over the past year? Or are the crews less skilled ? Or are they more rushed? Why is every trip down the road a challenge?
Plan on attending a meeting and bring a neighbor. Can’t you give two hours a month to your community? Think about it.
Lastly, never forget that an important part of this dynamic is your feedback and participation. We need your comments, your concerns, your suggestions, your complaints. It is your neighborhood. What is on your mind?

Rose, Cedar and Our Meeting
Just a few quick things...
The speed bump requested for Rose Avenue by the residents of that block was approved by Community Board 2 last night. The concern centers around New Dorp Baptist School and the children who enter and leave that facility. The request will now be forwarded to the Department of Transportation who will conduct their study on the feasability and need for that item.
The letter to Commissioner Benepe of the NYC Department of Parks by our elected officials has not yet been responded to.
And we will be having our monthly meeting Thursday night at 8pm in the Kells-Grennie American Legion Post at 2750 Amboy Road. During that meeting we will be celebrating the holidays following our conduct of business.
If I don't see you (and even if I do) have a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy Holidays!

Our Monthly Meeting - What You Missed !!!
So what did you miss? You missed an update on various items in our community (New Dorp Lumber, 321 Edison, Hess, Franks, dining, the Welsh property). You missed Ann's Joke of the Month! You missed a presentation by Michael Reiser, the Recycling Outreach Coordinator for Staten Island, who worked through the financials associated with recycling to show how recycling does make financial sense for the city. He helped us understand how much more room there is for us to improve and the benefit there would be for us. And he also answered a number of questions that our attendees had for him.
So if you are now saddened that you missed the meeting - don't despair. We will have another meeting in November on the 15th. Plan now on attending.
And lastly, remember, you can join us for dinner on the 30th. Check out the entry on our Dining Through New Dorp event.
See you around the neighborhood.

October Meeting and Newsletter
Our monthly meeting will be Thursday, October 18 at 8pm at the Kells-Grennie American Legion Post at 2750 Amboy Road. Our guest speaker is Mike Reiser, the Recycling Outreach Coordinator for Staten Island. Plan now on attending and bring a neighbor!
The October newsletter... ah yes. I've heard comments that the newsletter sometimes arrives after our monthly meeting. And that is not good. So this month I made sure that it was completed earlier and delivered to the printer earlier. My hope is that yours was in your mailbox. (My newsletter arrived yesterday.) Please let me know if it does not arrive before our monthly meeting next Thursday.
If you cannot attend the meeting but want to become more involved and help us with the work of the Association, please call 718-979-6011 or send us an email at ndcca@excite.com or newdorpcentralcivic@yahoo.com.
Thank you and I hope to see you at the meeting!
