But once the BCNY's extended lease ends in a year or so... what happens to the young men of the community who have been abandoned?<br /><br />I'm in the arts... They can provide a wonderful opportunity for many young adults. But the BC program is different. More vigorous. More interested in developing boys into responsible men. <br /><br />As I said before Mr. Sosnick has done a great service to the community but the next step(s) are even more important and could determine the effectiveness of the Harriman Building moving forward. cmarrtyyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06948995395819496180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-26796856610498349422019-08-07T11:35:17.472-04:002019-08-07T11:35:17.472-04:00 Good for him and great for the neighborhood -- a ...
