Too Much on Your Plate?

(Portion Size and Healthier Lifestyle) Admission: FREE

Saturday, Oct 29 

10am – 12noon


Fruits, grains, vegetables and protein -- each food group plays a role in sustaining our health. So what happens if our bodies are deprived of any one of these food groups or overloaded with another one?

What happens when one of the food groups is stewed, fried, or smothered in gravy? Does it make a difference what time of day I eat or how much I eat before bedtime? The answers to these seemingly insignificant questions can make a world of difference for your health.

Strategies to Pay for College

Saturday, Oct 29

Don't be intimidated ... Access to a mortgage loan or business loan is based on three core criteria:

A Day of Remembrance of Hurricane Sandy

Join us for a day of remembrance and recovery as we reflect on the years since Hurricane Sandy and look towards the future. We will conduct our annual remembrance walk, which this year will begin at Beach 67th street and end at Battalion Pentecostal Assembly Church.

James Sanders Jr. was elected to the New York State Senate on September 13, 2012. He represents the 10th Senatorial District in Queens, which includes the neighborhoods of South Jamaica, Rochdale Village, Rosedale, Richmond Hill, South Ozone Park, Springfield Gardens and most of the Rockaways.

Senator Sanders is the ranking Democrat on the Civil Services & Pensions Committee. He also serves on the Commerce, Economic Development & Small Business Committee, Banks Committee, Insurance Committee, Labor Committee, Veterans, Homeland Security & Military Affairs Committee, Cultural Affairs & Tourism Committee, and Racing, Gaming & Wagering Committee.

During his time in the legislature, Senator Sanders has been a fierce advocate
for working people, families and unions. In his first term in office, he introduced the Fair Wage Act, which would increase the statewide minimum wage to $10.10 per hour, indexed to inflation, and allowing municipalities to set their own minimum wage up to $13.13, understanding that a one-size-fits-all approach does not work for places like New York City.
