I hope this email finds you well and enjoying Groundhog Day. Groundhog Day is hardly a holiday, nor is a groundhog a binding authority.

I hope this email finds you well and enjoying Groundhog Day. Groundhog Day is hardly a holiday, nor is a groundhog a binding authority. Still, New York City’s answer to Punxsutawney Phil, Staten Island Chuck, did not see his shadow this morning and thus predicted an early spring. Spring, of course, was going to begin on March 20th regardless of what any creature saw. However, like the film named after the day, I have brief items that may be similar to previous days, but, like Billy Murray's character's experience, there are some differences

First, regarding redistricting, if you had issues with redistrictingandyou.org, I’d recommend going to bit.ly/nyredistrictmaps to see both new and old district lines.

Second, one week from tonight, on Wednesday, February 9th at 6:30 PM on Zoom, we have our monthly full board meeting. The meeting will include votes on two liquor license applications, one Certificate of Appropriateness application, reports from elected officials, and other community-related items. To join the meeting, go to the following link:bit.ly/Feb9CB6.

Third, two weeks from tonight, Wednesday, February 16th, at 6:30 pm over zoom, our Parks and Environmental protection committee will meet. The meeting's focus will be an update from Brooklyn Parks Commissioner Marty Maher on parks in our community district. If you'd like to register for the meeting go to bit.ly/cb6parksfeb16 While on the topic of parks, I’ll remind you that the Red Hook Recreation Center has reopened. The hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 6 am until 8 pm, and Saturdays from 8 am until 4 pm.

Lastly, if you keep scrolling down this email, you’ll find additional interesting items. However, whether you read past here or not, stay safe and enjoy the rest of this second day of the second month.
