Update - Greeting for Mayor Bloomberg

submitted by Tamara Crifasi - November 29, 2012

Just as an update. We greeted the mayor with signs re: mold, housing, fed aid when his helicopter landed. 
We followed him to his meeting with the wave. We waited outside for his exit with our signs and some residents. He stopped to say "thanks for your hard work" and jumped back in his suv. The Editor of the wave came out and spoke to our group. He's interested in talking to residents about the issues - was very receptive, handed out biz cards. His name is Howard Schwach cell number 347.204.1194 ***@***.***
Not bad for short notice.
