East New York
Snip, snip, hooray
Catholic Charities’ year-old Homebase Homelessness Prevention Center has a new name in honor of an old friend.
The ribbon was cut on Jan. 16 on the newly-christened Dr. Elizabeth Lutas Center in honor of the long-time supporter of Catholic Charities Brooklyn and Queens and medical practitioner with 37 years of experience under her belt.
Dr. Robert Siebel, chief executive officer of Catholic Charities, helped snip the ribbon and presented Dr. Lutas with a special award — and glowing words.
“It is only fitting we name this center in honor of Dr. Elizabeth Lutas, a woman who has selflessly devoted her career to helping those in need and who is referred to by her friends as a saint,” he said.
Commissioner for Family Support Services at the Administration for Children’s Services Beverly James added her own fond wishes.
“We are proud to honor Dr. Elizabeth Lutas and Catholic Charities of Brooklyn and Queens for their work in changing lives and building communities here in East New York,” she said.
Standing O is proud to honor Dr. Lutas too!
