Partnership with Vamos la Pena

Hey friends, here's some great news...

Thanks to a flexible property owner, an anonymous contributor and an exciting reconnection, we are able to maintain the Green Corner through December!

We will be sharing the space with our longtime friends and collaborators in the movement from Vamos la Pena. I used to live in the same homestead as Nieves and Victor, the co founders of la Pena. La Peña reaches out to the most disenfranchised, especially the hungry, homeless, unemployed, undocumented and HIV-positive. All are welcome with no papers required and no questions asked. La Peña activities include food distribution, help with the citizenship process, English and Spanish classes, artistic workshops and attention to issues such as domestic violence, drug addiction and homelessness. La Peña is open daily and is staffed by community residents and volunteers. They have been selected for the Union Square award and the open Society Fellowship, among other recognitions. To learn more about their important work, see: http://www.fcny.org/scripts/usq/getpage02.pl?orgid=9801


We have an exhibition of waterfront visions by new Yorkers for parks and City College grad students on display, and much more to come.

If you have an idea, or want to engage in some community beneficial use of our green Corner, let me know. This is a resource for us all.

Ongoing are yoga, tai chi and tango classes, and many meetings. A fundraiser for the CSA project is being planned, and what else?

Spring is soon to spring! So come and visit and many thanks to our supporters!
Try viewing the world as with you and your efforts.
