Greetings Cooperators,

I

am delighted for the spring season bringing in the beautiful flowers and warm weather so we can enjoy the parks and other outdoor activities taking place here in Rochdale Village. It is the time to take advantage of all the beautiful amenities that are provided free of charge to us all.

I have seen a few bicycles, skateboards and scooter traffic on campus. Please understand that these items are prohibited from being used on walkways as we have seniors and children who are walking along the paths.

However, scooters, bikes and skateboards can be used in any of the recreational parks throughout the grounds. If anyone is travelling through the campus I ask that you go slowly and take care for we have many pedestrians young and old on our walkways.

Upcoming Events With summer approaching, we will be having a number of fun-filled events for both the children and the seniors. Look out for the Youth Planning Mother’s Day Jewelry, Candy & Card making event and the Senior Mother’s Day Concert & Aretha Franklin Tribute on Friday, May 10, 2019, all of these great events will be taking place in the Com-

munity Center at different times. Please come out and enjoy. The Youth Planning Committee will also be having registration on May 11, 2019 from 12 noon to 2 p.m. for the Basket Ball Tournament. The Community Relation Committee will be hosting the Annual Spring Fling Bazaar on Saturday, May 04, 2019, between the hours of 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. On Saturday, June 22, 2019, the Community Relations Committee will be hosting the annual Health Fair from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Big Mall. Also on June 22, the Community Center Committee alongside the Youth Planning Committee, the Community Center and Miss CARICOM International Foundation will be hosting a Beauty Pageant crowning two queens; Miss Rochdale Village and Miss CARICOM. The Miss Rochdale Pageant is the first ever, which will give the youth an important platform for awareness among different causes and to empower the individual as a person helping them to appreciate who they are, to give them self-esteem, promoting leadership, confidence and public speaking. This event will give the youth an opportunity to showcase their talent. I encourage all young ladies who are eligible to register for this special event. Come out, get involved and show your support to the activities taking place in the community.

Jean Randolph-Castro

There will be a Cancer Awareness Support Group Meeting taking place in May 2019, we are looking for more supporting members. Information will be sent out to the members and a save the date flyer will be posted. Look for the posting of the flyer for the annual Cancer Awareness walk scheduled for September 2019.

Board Meetings Board meetings are held monthly. Before the Board meeting begins we hold a Cooperator’s Session that is allocated for the Cooperators to respectfully voice their opinions on matters affecting them but unfortunately, respectful discourse does not always occur. There have been a number of Cooperators who have been very disrespectful to Board Members in the Cooperator Session and even disrupt the Board Meeting. Board Members are unable to focus and (Continued on page 21)

Last chance to participate in Charter Spectrum’s bulk deal survey

By Susan Van Brackle

O

you; door-to-door. The sense was that this second bulk deal proposal should be presented to the community in a manner that would allow each household to register a preference from the comfort of their own homes.

Please know that neither in 2017 nor now has the Board of Directors, Management or any other team member of the Rochdale Village corporation taken a position with regard to Spectrum’s offer other than to present it to cooperators.

As with any democratic process, shareholders have the right to vote for what they want, or don’t want. The role of the Board of Directors, Management and the Rochdale Village Bulletin Office, up to this very moment and beyond, will be to provide shareholders with the details of this bulk deal so that an informed decision can be made.

n page 10 of this Bulletin, cooperators will find the full channel line-up that’s being offered as part of Spectrum’s bulk deal offer. There is also a blank survey form on page 11. Residents are encouraged to vote their preference on Spectrum’s bulk deal offer

by May 31, if they haven’t already done so. This is the final distribution of the survey that will be circulated at the cooperative.

Members of the Board of Directors, Management and the Rochdale Village Bulletin Newspaper would like to say thank you for taking time out from your hectic schedules to share feedback about Spectrum’s latest proposal. Cooperators may recall 2017 and how sales specialists were on premises performing direct sales. In an effort to mitigate that process, Respectfully, surveys have been delivered to Rochdale Village Bulletin.

General Manager’s Monthly Report for March 2019 HIRING PRACTICES

Over the past month or so there has been negative innuendo surrounding hiring practices at Rochdale Village. Suggestions of nepotism or favoritism are not only apocryphal, they undermine every effort made by our human resources staff to ensure the most qualified persons are selected respective to the job applied for. As the managing agent tasked to oversee all aspects of the day-to-day operations, we endeavor to uphold a fair and equitable employment process; this is true for both our union and non-union employees.

Rochdale has contracts with three (3) different unions: Local 32BJ – Maintenance and Grounds, Local 94 – Power Plant and the Special and Superior Offices Benevolent Association (SSOBA) - Public Safety. While all three contracts are unique to the corresponding union, they are synonymous in regards to hiring procedures. Once a position becomes available, the job is posted internally for seven (7) days. Current employees with a satisfactory employment status may apply for any and all vacant positions. Employees will be considered based on their qualifications and ability to perform the job functions successfully. Once we identify an internal candidate that closely match the qualifications of the position, the employee is contacted and interviews are scheduled with Human Resources and the head of the department. If no internal candidates apply, the job is then posted externally through various recruitment companies and online agencies for the population at large to submit applications/resumes. Once candidates apply, the interview process commences and ultimately the most qualified individual is selected for the job. The newly hired candidate or promoted employee goes through a probationary period and are evaluated during that time frame to assure they are the right fit for the job and for Rochdale Village. We

ROCHDALE VILLAGE MAINTENANCE NOTICE

May 2019 MASS CLEAN OUT SCHEDULED

A mass clean out to control pests and vermin will be conducted in the buildings in May 2019. The service will be performed at the same 2me when air condi2oning filters are changed to prepare for the warm weather season.

Cooperators should watch for posted no2ces and other communica2ons they will receive prior to apartment inspec2ons. This way they or a representa2ve can plan their schedules to be present. The service can be performed expedi2ously if residents schedule 2me to be available.

venture to promote from within when at all possible and have a great many examples of those who have come up through the ranks successfully. Our goal remains to have a first rate staff hired based on merit and ability to provide the necessary service Rochdale villagers are deserving of.

MASS CLEAN OUT OVERVIEW

The time for the mass clean-out has come once again. For those of us that may have forgotten or did not live at Rochdale when this was first done 5 years ago, the objective is to exterminate an entire building from the top down in one day. For your convenience, we have also included the State mandated apartment inspections and convector filter change. This will enable us to take less of your time while providing necessary maintenance services.

Please be advised, for the process to be effective we need full access to each apartment.

Even if you have no sign of pests we still to check your apartment as a preventative measure. Rochdale staff will accompany the exterminators to aid in closing potential access points that vermin use to traverse the building.

These areas include the convectors throughout your apartment and closet at your apartment entrance. Please inform our staff of any other problem areas that may need attention.

The exterminator’s primary focus will be roaches and mice. For specialty extermination (e.g. bedbugs, fleas, gnats) please contact your group office for an appointment.

Rochdale Village Social Services wraps up successful study program in May

The free Academic Success Tutoring Program sponsored by Rochdale Village Social Services, Inc. completes studies in May after 27 weeks of academic lessons led by Instructor Andrea Johnson (standing center).

Parent testimony of results received by student that excelled from Rochdale Village Weekend Study Courses April 16, 2019 To Whom It May Concern: I am a proud mom because my son worked really hard at his grades in school and was accepted to York Early College Academy (YECA). This school receives 1500 applications and only 90 students get accepted.

He’s headed to the 6th grade fully ready.

I’m sharing this because Mr. Kevin Dilworth’s team helped my son to get on grade level and above. Plus, I had to stay on my son because I knew he was capable.

They say a good education is key to success and a prerequisite to opportunity. The nonprofit Rochdale Village Social Services, Inc's (RVSS) free Saturday tutoring program proved that for my son Rayshawn.

The motivation, one-on-one instruction and an internet teaching tool (Study Island) helped my son overcome academic challenges, increase his individual grade level of performance, and paved the way for him to achieve success on the New York State English Language Arts and Mathematics standardized tests.

It's all thanks to the dedication, motivation and extraordinary teaching skills of hired instructors Professor Andrea Johnson, Cassandra Kennedy and Roxanne Mayers, with the help of tutors Deevika Persuad, Anuska Joseph, Danella Codner and Samantha Ramchai.

RVSS Academic Success Tutoring Program, you all have gone over and above our best expectations. Mr. Kevin Dilworth, I really appreciate this program. You all are so dedicated to these kids. You all are so appreciated.

Sincerely, Shener

I

ndependent variations, horizontal and vertical axis graph definitions, and how to successfully solve X axis math problems are among the tough academic lessons being taught to students participating in the free Academic Success Tutoring Program sponsored by Rochdale Village Social Services, Inc., a non-profit organization.

Middle school students were given those lessons from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, April 27, 2019, when lead instructor Andrea Johnson and tutor Rico Gabriel Pacificar used the program’s Promethean ActivPanel electronic board to help the youngsters prepare for upcoming standardized math exams.

This level of study is just one part of the Academic Success Tutoring Program’s free educational efforts that occur on Saturday mornings. There are 10 instructors and tutors who also provide one-on-one homework assistance, help with fractions, decimals and fractions,

promote discussion and critical thinking, and supply youngsters with computer tablets that allow them to access the web-based Study Island on-line academic lessons.

This year, more than 60 students registered to take advantage of the free classes.

First through fifth graders get instructed in one Rochdale Village Community Center room, while middle and high school students meet in a separate room.

The Academic Success Tutoring Program began October 13, 2018. It ends on Saturday, May 18, 2019, after at total of 27 Saturdays.

The free educational effort is one of three Rochdale Village Social Servicesponsored programs that were funded with $65,000 in Discretionary Funds, for 2018-19, provided due to the efforts of City Councilmember Adrienne Adams (28th District).

By Olayemi Okeniyi “SHE SAID YES TO THE DRESS!” rang out once again in the Rochdale Village Grand Ballroom, as yet another young lady made her way across the stage to the roar of thunderous cheers of the crowd. The ballroom was packed with students, accompanied by their mothers, sisters, and friends all engaged in the singular goal of finding that signature dress for prom.

Saturday, April 20 was the Ninth Annual Free Dress And Tuxedo Giveaway offered by the Queens Chapter of Operation Prom. This was the fourth time it was hosted by Youth Planning Committee Chairman, Mario Turner at Rochdale Village. Mr. Turner also partnered with several ancillary groups to make this an unforgettable experience for all students involved.

New Life Nail Spa was on hand to give manicures, SkinfatuatedNYC offered facials, Black Girls Can shared makeup tips and Operation Prom, a non-

profit organization, supplied racks and racks of elegant, donated ball gowns and accessories.

The anticipation of prom is not enough to overshadow the fact that for many students, this farewell to secondary education can be very daunting and costly. The free dress and tuxedo giveaway exists to reduce this burden and to reward students who have distinguished themselves academically during their high school career. Under strict instructions from Candace Hutson, Director of Queens’ Operation

Prom, volunteers worked one-on-one to match each girl with a dress that suited her frame as well as her personality. One candidate walked away with a tuxedo, another with a ball gown and another a tiny black dress. There was also a station with crisp white shirts, bow ties and pocket squares for youth who understood their right to be equally striking at the prom. Armed with new outfits, accessories and smiles, the students left Rochdale Village, ready to conquer their proms and hopefully whatever else comes next.

Rochdale Village Social Services touts winning chess program for youths

O

n March 30, 2018, a chess tournament was held at the Critical Thinking Through Chess program with Coach George H. Taylor.

Approximately 24 youth that participated in a minimum of four sessions competed in the match.

Players ranging from third grade through high school participated in four G30 games. A G30 game could last up to 30 minutes, which means some youth had to concentrate and focus for up to two hours of intense chess play.

Students stayed invigorated with the help of refreshments, snacks and family members that came out to support the event.

“Most of the students in the program had never played chess before, but were able to progress in a short time to a level where they could successfully complete a regulation game,”said chess instructor George H. Taylor. “The students are very eager to continue learning and even playing in outside tournaments, eventually qualifying and traveling to national meets.”

The Critical Thinking Through Chess program has been so wildly successful that it is expected to return to the Community Center in the fall. Contributed by Kevin Dilworth, Vice President Rochdale Village Social Services.

Donations to Rochdale’s clothing bins continues to support study programs

By Olayemi Okeniyi

T

hanks to the generous donations made at Rochdale’s clothing recycling bins, collections equaled $9,489.00 for fiscal year 2017-2018.

Revenues however were slightly

lower for fiscal year 2018-2019 totaling $8,874.00. Please know that proceeds from recycling bin donations go towards Rochdale Village Social Services, the non-profit arm of the corporation.

Currently, collection proceeds are being used to support

youth programs at the cooperative like the Academic Success Tutoring Program and Critical Thinking Through Chess initiatives, which are both held every Saturday at Rochdale’s Community Center. Moreover, the funds were used to offset the cost of the Digital Teaching Board and to buy licenses for

the web-based Study Island Academic Instructional Program. So please, before bringing outdated clothing to the garbage heap, imagine the possibilities and drop them off in one of the County Recycling bins stationed around Rochdale Village. Bin pickups occur weekly. The planet thanks you.

RV’s Maintenance Committee hosts Shred Fest events during Earth Week

By Susan Van Brackle

N

either rain, nor storm nor blowing wind was able to deter Rochdale’s Maintenance Committee from hosting its’ annual Shred Fest events during Earth Week.

Inclement weather prompted a site switch for the team’s first session held Friday, April 26. Maintenance Committee Chairperson Jean Hall, with the help of committee members, quickly relocated guests from the open air Mall #1 parking lot on Baisley Boulevard to the sheltered pathway near Mall #1’s rear entrance.

Saturday’s affair on April 27 was a breeze and went off without a hitch in the parking lot behind Mall #2.

Residents that were not able to attend April’s Shred Fest

will have another opportunity to safely dispose of their documents at the next scheduled Shred Fest in September.

Rochdale Shred Fests help jump-start seasonal cleaning, reduce incidences of identity theft and enable shareholders to have a safe, convenient way to destroy sensitive documents.

Residents that would like to become involved with the Maintenance Committee should attend meetings, which are held on the second Thursday of the month at 7:00 p.m. Rochdale’s Maintenance Committee is a vibrant group of cooperators that are focused on the upkeep and conservation of the cooperative. For meeting location, please consult the Board Calendar or Board of Director’s Secretary at 718-276-5700 x336.

Let’s make it a “Smoke-Free” Rochdale
