Community Board to hold monthly meeting at Diversity Plaza Thursday

Plazameeting

June 17, 2015 By Michael Florio

Community Board 3 will be hosting its June meeting at Diversity Plaza Thursday.

This will be the third straight year that the board has held its meeting at the well-known venue. It will begin at 7 pm.

The outdoor meeting provides the public with a window into the workings of the board as well as the individuals who are making the decisions on behalf or residents, according to elected officials.

The event is held at plaza since it is a visible area that draws a lot of residents, particularly those going to and from the train.

Many of these people do not even know what a community board is, or what they do, and will have the opportunity to conveniently watch the process in action.

Both of the previous meetings drew a large audience.

Councilman Daniel Dromm and 115th Precinct Captain Brian Hennessy are both scheduled to speak tomorrow, as well as representatives from the Louis Armstrong House Museum and Neighborhood Housing Service.

Hall of Famer Lou Carnesecca, legendary St. John’s basketball coach, dies at 99

The St. John’s University community will gather to mourn legendary basketball coach Lou Carnesecca on the Hillcrest campus he loved with all of his heart Friday morning for his Funeral Mass at St. Thomas More Church, where he will be remembered not just for building a dynamic program, but for the way he did it. The beloved coach died peacefully surrounded by family and friends on Saturday, Nov. 30, at age 99 and just five weeks shy of his 100th birthday.

“Throughout his long life, Coach Carnesecca represented St. John’s with savvy, humility, smarts, tenacity, wit, integrity and grace,” SJU President Rev. Brian Shanley said. “He was the public face of our University, and he embodied the values of our Catholic and Vincentian mission. We thank God for his legacy.”
