Demand that Mayor Bloomberg keep Cedar Grove Community Hub open

Hello Again!

I can't thank you all enough for your support of the Cedar Grove Community Hub - because you spoke up and signed this petition, this vital relief center is staying open and continuing to help those in need in the New Dorp Beach neighborhood of Staten Island. I am writing today because, although we will be closing this petition, there are a number of ways you can continue to support the Cedar Grove Community Hub:

1) "Like" the Cedar Grove Community Hub page on Facebook to stay informed about what is happening there, as the needs of the neighborhood continue to change:

2) Contribute to the Cedar Grove Community Hub's Fundrazer Campaign here:

3) Come by and visit - meet Donna, her volunteers, and the residents who continue to find support there. It's on Cedar Grove Ave at Center Place - just look for the tents! 

Again, thank you for taking the time to show your support.

All the Best,

Dan

Hello Again!

Because 2,000 of you took the time to sign this petition and show your support for the Cedar Grove Community Hub, it appears now that this incredible relief center is no longer under the threat of a shutdown by Mayor Bloomberg. I can't thank you enough for standing up for the people of Staten Island who needed your help.

I'm writing to you today to let you know about another way you can show your support for those hit-hard by Sandy – it's an event called "Walk a Mile in Our Shoes".

This Saturday, January 12th, across Sandy-affected areas of New York and New Jersey, thousands of people will walk side-by-side with Sandy survivors to show their support and demand that Congress pass the Sandy Relief Bill on January 15th. By "walking a mile" with Sandy survivors through these devastated neighborhoods, you will not only be giving these people much-needed support; you will be helping to bring much-needed media attention to these communities.

For those interested in taking part in the event in Staten Island, the walk will take place in the New Dorp Beach neighborhood – right past the Cedar Grove Community Hub. Organizers ask that you come to the corner of Ebbitts Street and Cedar Grove Ave. at 8:30 AM and the walk will begin at 9AM.

For more information about the Staten Island "Walk a Mile in Our Shoes" event and the others taking place simultaneously in New York (The Rockaways, Gerritsen Beach, Coney Island, Island Park) and New Jersey (Seaside, Keansburg/Union Beach, and Brigantine) visit:

Thanks again for your support!

All the Best,
