(A list of participants is atitsinqueens.com/restaurantweek.)

On Monday, October 5, Rep. Joe Crowley(D-Queens, Bronx), Vice Chair of the Demo-cratic Caucus, along with special guest NYSSenator Joseph Addabbo Jr. (D-HowardBeach), celebrated Italian Heritage Monthwith the Bronx-Queens community at F & JPine Restaurant in Morris Park. Addabbodelivered the evening’s keynote address dur-ing the annual reception, which brings thecommunity together to celebrate the extraor-dinary contributions of Italian-Americans toour history and culture. Crowley also recog-nized two local leaders who have dedicatedtheir lives to public service. This year’shonorees included retired NYPD DetectiveVictor DiPierro, of the Bronx and Leonardoda Vinci Intermediate School 61 PrincipalJoseph Lisa, of Queens.

“As we pause each year to reflect uponthe important role Italian-Americans haveplayed in our history, it gives me greatpleasure to recognize a few leaders in ourown community who have made and con-tinue to make a significant difference in thelives of our family, friends and neighbors,”said Rep. Crowley. “Senator Addabbo is agreat example of how Italian-Americanshave strengthened our society and I ap-plaud his commitment to public service.

Rep. Joe Crowley is joined by (l. to r.) special guest NYS Senator Joseph AddabboJr. and honorees: I.S. 61 Principal Joseph Lisa and NYPD Detective VictorDiPierro during his 2015 Italian Heritage Month event.

I’m especially proud to have him as thisyear’s special guest.”

“As a proud Italian-American, I appreci-ate the efforts of my friend, CongressmanJoe Crowley, for taking the time each year toacknowledge the contributions and work ofother Italian-Americans and their culture,”said Senator Addabbo.

“I would like to express my gratitude toCongressman Crowley for this specialacknowledgement,” said Detective DiPierro.“And I would like to dedicate this recogni-tion to my late parents. Because of them, Igrew up a very proud Italian-American andcarried that pride with me during my 20-yearcareer in the NYPD. Now as a father, I passalong to my son the traditions and values Ihad growing up in an Italian household.”

“The work of tonight’s honorees dem-onstrate how Italian-Americans, many ofwhom immigrated here over a century agoseeking better opportunities for themselvesand their families, have become woven intoour rich cultural fabric,” continued Crowley.

NYS Assemblymen Mark Gjonaj,Michael Benedetto and Michael DenDekker,and NYC Council Member James Vacca,also joined Crowley at the event which drewover 200 guests.

$3.2 MILLION CULTURALIMMIGRANT INITIATIVE

Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and Ma-jority Leader Jimmy Van Bramer announced$3,187,500 in funding for over 77 culturalgroups across the city through the New YorkCity Council Cultural Immigrant Initiative.

“Immigrant experiences are central to thefabric and history of New York City and today,over three million foreign-born New Yorkersfrom all over the world call this city home,” saidNew York City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito. “Cultural expression through art,music, dance, and more celebrates this vibrantdiversity of experiences and stories – and al-lows us to share and appreciate that diversitytogether. The New York City Council CulturalImmigrant Initiative will provide local organi-zations the resources they need to keep thesetraditions alive in our communities.”

“This year we have literally doubled downon the success of the Cultural Immigrant Ini-tiative,” said Majority Leader and CulturalAffairs Chair Jimmy Van Bramer. “By in-

creasing funding streams to immigrant organi-zations and cultural groups that are often over-looked in the cultural funding process we areempowering more New Yorkers and increas-ing access to the arts in every neighborhood.Everyone in every corner of our City, regard-less of their economic or ethnic background isentitled to world class culture that makes ourCity great. This $3.2 million is a commitmentto our City’s immigrant communities and therenowned cultural groups that make New YorkCity the Cultural Capital of the World.”

The New York City Council allocated$3,187,500 in the Fiscal Year 2016 budgetto support cultural organizations providingprogramming focused on the cultural his-tory and traditions of immigrant communi-ties in New York City, and to increaseaccess to unique cultural offerings centeredon immigrant heritages.

“With this funding we willchange the face of this importantcommunity hub by making im-provements that will expand theamount of green space throughoutthe park, introduce new play areasfor children of all ages as well asenhance existing space for seniorsand adults to enjoy,” said NewYork City Council MajorityJimmy Van Bramer. “Every greatneighborhood deserves a greatpark and these much-needed im-provements will give generationsof local residents a perfect spaceto enjoy the outdoors right in theheart of Woodside.”

“Big Bush Park will undergosignificant renovations to its play-ground, adult exercise equipment,game tables and more, all to befurther enjoyed by the growingfamilies of Woodside,” said QueensBorough President Melinda Katz.“The design plans for the Big BushPark project were in no small partdue to the comprehensive inputfrom the community, and is a per-fect example of how residents canhave a significant impact in beauti-

fying our neighborhoods.”“NYC Parks has made it our

mission to ensure that every neigh-borhood has access to high-qualityparks, but we can’t do it alone,”said Commissioner Lewandowski.“Big Bush Park is a great exampleof community-led design in ac-tion, and we look forward to open-ing a new and improved space thatreflects their vision. We’re thank-ful for the Borough President andCouncil Member’s support in cre-ating a more equitable parks sys-tem, and for their dedication toQueens’ neighborhood parks.”

The goal of this project is toreconstruct the paved areas in thenorth end of the park to betteraccommodate both active play andpassive recreation, and to increasethe amount of green, permeablesurface area in the park.

Every click, pattern and lengthof time on a link is folded into aportrait of each of us. A PBS Front-line article this year stated that aCambridge expert could ascertainwith accuracy from Facebook“likes” whether you were gay, hadused drugs or had parents whodivorced before you were 21.

Few even in small businesshave escaped having to participatein the digital arena, so we might aswell be doing the same thing –whether we are trying to sell icecream or insurance, protect el-ephants or get charitable donations.

Guest speaker Penfold-Waxman, a digital marketing ex-pert and creative director atTenthwave, devises ways to do thatfor a living and saw her client shootto the top of the rankings. She her-self was not selling us anything,and spoke as a contribution to herwestern Queens community. Thedry-witted Waxman addressed allfor an hour, armed with aPowerPoint presentation, solicitinginput as she spoke to be as useful asshe could to those listening.

She ascertained quickly thedigital readiness of those present.New member Eric Barthels, ofCooldown Juice (go to 47th Av-enue and 39th and prepare to haveyour socks knocked off) was themost equipped digitally, accord-ing to her standard, to use the tools

out there – most of which are free.Some tidbit items of interest

were that we friends see 2% of ourFacebook posts, video is king, asimple site you build yourself onSquarespace, Wix or Weebley isfine, that no more than two hashtags are desirable, and that every-one loves photos of food. If youmissed it, Catherine’s presentation(summation will be sent by emailto full Chamber members), we areconsidering asking for a return en-gagement, perhaps in the evening!

Christopher Reide of DimeBank donated a popular raffle giftof wine, glasses, pen and corkscrewin a Dime Bank insulated bag, andPenfold brought nifty wooden caseflash drives and some cake mixfrom her client Duncan Hines.

The next Chamber ShowcaseLuncheon will be Filipino-cui-sine Tito Rads, on October 28that 12:30. And did you know thatlocally we have a web securityexpert who designs and sells hiscyber security software productto the US Navy, Japan and For-tune 50 companies? Guestspeaker Francis Gianfroccowon’t have “tips” for us in theusual way, but more an illumi-nating discussion of cyber secu-rity world and a question andanswer period (Francis will an-swer if he can!)

Such statements were backed by the strongeffort the youth who gathered on Saturday,October 3, who, despite the smallness of thegroup based on the remnants of the stormwhich moved through the community, wereable, together with missionaries from theChurch of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,to complete 60 tree beds that were spreadacross large sections of Woodside, begin-ning early along 41 Avenue from 58th Street,zig-zagging east to 60th Street and WoodsideAvenue, then transiting to 39th Avenue be-tween 59th and 65th Streets.

The natural cedar mulch was procuredfor the task from TreesNY, a non-profitorganization dedicated to planting and nur-turing street trees, as well as outreach andtraining on proper tree care, and MustafaArshad, owner of Sign Media International,located on 69 Street and Woodside Avenue,who has emerged as the primary individualsupporter of many of the projects the youthhave conducted over the past 12 months.

Sunday, October 4 saw more activity inthe graffiti removal portion of the mission,with Navid Kashem, 9th grade student inStuyvesant High School, venturing out overthe length of Woodside, passing throughareas mulched the day prior, eliminating anygraffiti which, like a cancer, appears fromtime to time across areas already repaintedby the youth throughout the past years, reach-ing 69th Street and Woodside Avenue to theeast, and 39th Avenue near 52nd Street to thewest, then returning along the western partof Woodside Avenue, observing “I can seekeeping what we did clean from graffiti isgoing to be a tough challenge, but it movesquickly because everything was painted be-fore, so all we do is cover it almost as fast asthe graffiti went up.”

The route also provided more opportu-nities to trim suckers from the trees alongthe same path and mitigate any further litterthat accumulated in the tree beds mulchedon Saturday.
