Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer today proudly announced the appointment of 76 new members to Manhattan’s 12 Community Boards. This year’s appointees continue the trend of increased diversity among board members and include small business owners, including those recovering from Hurricane Sandy, NYCHA residents, clergy members, parent leaders and a fifth generation New Yorker. A full list of appointees can be found here.
Here's the rundown for our own CB3...
...if we can count, there are 8 new members, whose names are in bold in the list below...
The Lo-Down has more information about the 8 new members here.
The Lo-Down notes that one of the new CB3 members is Teresa Pedroza, the grandmother of Dashane Santana, the 12 year old who was killed while crossing Delancey Street last year. She was successful in calling on new safety measures for this notoriously dangerous stretch of Delancey.

Is there anyway to know if this means having more people who own liquor licenses appointed to the SLA committee? - that's just wrong!
Stringer gives it to us again. Take a hike in the forest sweetheart.

Nice videos.
You know many years ago Penny Arcade performed at the HOWL Festival and I remember her saying that The Vagina Monologues were the worst thing to ever happen to the women's movement. How it has taken women backwards.
Isn't it ironic that now Phil Hartman organizes a mardigras fund raiser for Lyn Pentecost's Lower Eastside Girl's Club where Ariel Palitz is a featured speaker.
I'm with Penny Arcade on this one.
