Happy harvest season Creating Legacies fam. I hope that autumn is ushering in amazing
blessings for you and yours. It seems
that we have some sunny days left and some warm afternoons with painted
sunsets.
This
Wednesday, October 9th come out for, “A Celebration of Peace, Play and Community.” From 4:00-7:00pm take a
stand with community residents for peace in our local, Parkside Playground atP.S. 92 (between Bedford and Rogers Ave – enter on Winthrop St.). Rain Date: October 10, 2013
I grew up in Lefferts Gardens and had the
opportunity to hang with friends at the P.S. 92 playground after de-boarding
our cheese bus when school let out. Back then,
it was a basic concrete jungle park with basketball rims missing the nets.
Council Member Eugene allocated $2.45 million
dollars collaboratively with Mayor Bloomberg’s $517,000 for a completely new
playground which celebrated its ribbon cutting in September, 2011. The Playground at P.S. 92 now boasts new basketball
courts, play equipment, swings, painted games, a custom designed spray
sculpture and a seating area for parents and seniors complete with game
tables. The space seems wonderful at
first glance, but area gun violence keeps families at bay. My, how things change and how things stay the
same. Unfortunately the violence of
yesteryear still rears its ugly head.
The organizers of, “A Celebration of Peace, Play andCommunity” invite you to come out with your families, bring some food, a jump rope,
play some ball and meet other community residents, standing united against gun
violence in the community.
