Building 33 Association
We would like to thank the shareholders, Chief Joseph Riley and Sergeant Andre Waring of the Co-op City Public Safety department for attending our building meeting. We discussed how CCPD is addressing our concerns including loud noises at night, loitering around the shopping centers and stairwells, marijuana smoking, dogs, visibility of officers at night, mental illness, catalytic converters being stolen and illegally parked cars in the cul-de-sac. A community this size is going to have its fair share of issues. In addition to what CCPD is doing, if we all respected the fact that we have to live here together and are not entitled to do whatever we want, we can handle a lot of these concerns on our own. For instance, do you really feel comfortable smoking marijuana in front of little children, someone’s parents or grandparents in and around the shopping center? And loitering in the stairwells? It cannot happen! And as far as officers working late at night, you may not see them, but they are there. If you are ever in a position where you do not feel safe, please call CCPD at 718-671-3050, press the button on the blue lit emergency pole, or dial 911. Always put your safety first!
Double parking in the cul-de-sac is a big problem in front of our building. All we ask is if you have to double park, please be mindful of your neighbors and do not block anyone in.
Dogs in the community? We love them, especially when dog owners behave responsibly! Keep your dog leashed! If you are caught, $50 fine!
Nelson Sweeting, president, Section 5 Association, thank you for attending and allowing us to use the Section 5 Association room for our meeting.
Lastly, we would like to thank New York State Assembly Member Michael Benedetto; his Legislative Aide, Tremaine O’Garro, and his staff for inviting
S4P Mission Statement
The Section 4 Partnership’s purpose is to promote a community of more than just neighbors, but as one family of many cultures, that proactively embraces greatness, and promotes neighborhood interaction. The goal of the organization is to offer solutions that will educate, elevate, inspire, and mobilize our community in unity, to sustain affordability and growth in order to remain environmentally sound and vibrant for generations to come.
“All of us” divided by “Each one of us” equals a force for good.
—Michelle Marbury
us to the Black History Month celebration. It was a festive occasion with good music and plenty of food. Mr. Benedetto presented retired General Manager Noel Ellison, and former Riverbay Board members, Rodney and Shirley Saunders, with plaques honoring them for their work, service and commitment to the community. It was a deserving gesture for three wonderful people.
I was told I am going over my word limit, so until next week, take care and walk good!

On February 23, Assemblyman Benedetto held his Black History Month Luncheon and AARP was glad to be in attendance. As always, he treated his constituents very well and he honored one of our most active community families. We too would like to thank Mr. Rodney and Mrs. Shirley Saunders for all they have contributed to this community for so many years. They have worked tirelessly to improve the quality of life in Co-op City for more than 30 years and for that we have a much better place to live! Thank you!
AARP holds a General Membership Meeting the second Monday of each month. The next meeting is March 13 at 1 p.m. in Room “0.” We have a new Executive Board, and all will be present at the meeting. Our office is open Monday-Thursday from 11 a.m.-3 p.m., located at 177 Dreiser Loop, Room “0,” second floor. Our telephone number is 718-320-1946. If you leave a message, we will get back to you at our earliest opportunity.
From Mrs. Wilson, Good and Welfare contact, we learned that our long-time member and friend, Deloris Cornelius, was hospitalized and is now in Pinnacle Nursing Home. We send her prayers and wishes for a complete recovery. Sending prayers to all our members who are under the weather but recovering in their own spaces.
Be Safe-Be Aware-Be Healthy.

Caregivers Outreach Mentorship
“Family Meeting” – Let’s Talk
Do you know where your loved one’s life insurance policy is kept? Or if they even have one? Is the insurance accidental, term, or whole life insurance? What is the payoff amount upon death? Do you have any idea of the cost of a funeral? Can you provide medical information to healthcare providers about your loved ones’ medications, allergies and medical history in an emergency? What services are covered under their health insurance? Do they have a Will, Trust, Power of Attorney, Health Care Proxy, or Do Not Resuscitate (DNR)? If you answered no to any of the above questions, it is time for the family meeting.
There is no set time or age to express your wishes to your family. Life is unpredictable and can be taken away at any age or time. During a family meeting, I was informed that my daughter wanted to donate all her organs upon passing. It was not easy thinking about the possibility of my 38-year-old daughter dying. However, I felt at ease knowing her wishes and that she had completed a Health Care Proxy. As a caregiver, it is essential that you are aware of all the necessary medical and personal information of the person you are caring for to manage their care successfully. If the information is not in your presence, you should know where to locate it when needed.
I know your struggles getting vital information from an elderly loved one or parent. It is the world’s best-kept secret. As we age, we lose our independence, friends, family members, spouse, health and youth. Therefore, it may seem we can only hold on to our money and possessions. I am sure you have heard some of these remarks before. “Why are you trying to get into my business? Are you trying to kill me? I am not going anywhere; we have time to talk about that; do we have to talk about this now? Why do you always want to talk about things like that? I have everything in order.”
Maybe we should begin to talk about “things like this” at any time and stage of our lives. I have realized that we all will go through difficult times in our lives, and some of our difficulties will be encountered gradually, unexpectedly, and suddenly. We work hard to accomplish “things” (property, money, and other possessions) and forget it is not just about us. Do not wait for a crisis to make major decisions. Get things together for your loved one and yourself. Call us to set up a Caregivers Consultation for you and your loved one. Please visit our website to learn more about the services we offer.
Please note: There will not be a “Let’s Talk” 45-minute information session on the third Thursday of March. To be placed on our email list, go to www. comeoutreach and you will be kept updated on the sessions and other events along with a reminder a few days before.
