I sent a copy of my message to DFTA to JASA. Amy Chalfy, Bronx District Director, JASA contacted me and assured me there are no plans to shut the center down. It's that old problem that DFTA only measures the success of senior centers by the attendance at the lunch. There's a lot more to the Van Cortlandt Senior Center than lunch. Someone from DFTA also called me and said there are no plans to shut the center. ******************************************************************************* I sent this message to the NYC Department for the Aging today. There are rumors that the Van Cortlandt Senior Center in the Bronx might be shut down. I hope not, as I attend several times a week. If it is closed, would JASA be able to keep the money allocated for this center? I hope the arrogant ones who run JASA would pay a price if they shut Van Cortlandt down.

Jon Rigai announced that after June 21 he will be gone for five weeks. Someone should take his place, I'll post as soon as I learn the new schedule.
Friday, June 23, there was a smaller than usual group for lunch. Last night the NORC office based at the Amalgamated Co-Op had sponsored a dinner and boat ride around Manhattan. People who went on that cruise didn't return home until midnight. Apparently, a large number were too tired to come to the center today.
