Brighton Beach
Standing O pal Pat Singer, founder and executive director of the Brighton Neighborhood Association, let us know that the grassroots group that does more for Brighton Beach than addressing the Boardwalk and the beach just celebrated 37 years of successful service to the community.
Pat and her staff have long helped area residents with quality-of-life issues, including housing, senior care, youth services, and immigrant outreach.
Helping Pat blow out the candles were local residents Samia Butt, a public health administrator from Coney Island Hospital, and Sarah Plishtiev from COJO. Both patted Pat and BNA staff on the back for a job well done. Staff members Kristina Yiannaki, Janet Veksler, and Concepcion Roncal took time away from solving community problems to have their piece of cake and eat it too!
Standing O offers congrats to Pat and her staff, and wishes BNA another 37 years — and more — of great service.
