Community Board 13 will have a committee vote about the casino proposed for Coney Island. And the community is invited to watch by Zoom – that’s not right.

Cereal Drive for Grandma’s Love – For Families in Our Community
Grandma’s Love is an amazing organization in our community. They pack bags of food and send it home with children, whose families may need a little help.
The Parent Association at MS 407 (the school at the Nathan’s location) is having a cereal drive for Grandma’s Love. This is a great idea because cereal stores well and most children like cereal!
Do you want to help families in our community?
You can stop by and drop off cereal at the school on 86th Street and 7th Avenue.
I know I am not going to remember to do that, so I sent cereal from Amazon to MS 407’s Parent Association at 650 – 86th Street Brooklyn, NY 11228. (Delivery time from M-F 9:00 am – 2:00 pm.)
