I. Sharing our enthusiasm - activities in the building.
We have a community within our own building with many different interests and talents. At the General Tenants Meeting on March 20th, some tenants offered to share their skills and interests for free with other tenants. Check the sign-up sheets coming soon in the mailroom on the ground floor.

- Barbara Geller has volunteered at the Conservatory Garden for 10 years. She has offered to lead a tour of the garden - starting from our building - in the Spring. The date will depend on the peak of the Spring season, but it will be a weekday, starting at around 5 pm.

- Frank Leonardo will be showing films one Thursday evening a month in the Community Room at 8 PM. Check the date-preference sheet in the mailroom. The first film will be Sita Sings the Blues (an animated film mixing part of the Indian Ramayana tale with a modern woman's story). The second will be Beasts of the Southern Wild, a modern day allegory set in a Louisiana bayou. The 9-year-old star was nominated for an Academy Award. The third film will (probably) be Whale Rider, about a 12-year-old girl whose ambition is to become chief of her Maori tribe.

- Jodi Brockington is a volunteer instructor for ShapeUp NYC, and she leads free exercise sessions on Mondays at 6 PM in our Community Room. Tenants and their friends and neighbors are welcome. If you've got any weights to lend or donate, that would be appreciated!
- Manny Vega is a painter, illustrator, printmaker, muralist, mosaicist, and set and costume designer. His work portrays the history and traditions of the African Diaspora that exist in the United States, the Caribbean, and Latin America. He has taught art workshops and will teach kids or adults - for the cost of materials. He would be happy to work on a large mural (on paper) for a group of people to work on.
- Mark Price's hobby is painting and racing radio-controlled cars (1/10th the size of the actual vehicle) that run on a petroleum-based fuel called nitro. The people involved practice in vacant parking lots in New Jersey and travel all over the US for meets. He will schedule a demonstration for young and old in Central Park for a Saturday in the Spring.
- Our POT LUCK PARTY will be on May 19th! Volunteer on a sheet to be posted in April in the mailroom.
