Lenox Road Block Association Alliance: 'Lights on Lenox', a success!

On Saturday, December 14, 2013, the Lenox Road Block Association Alliance (LRBAA) held 'Lights on Lenox', the first community holiday tree lighting on Lenox road, and the beginning of what we hope to make an annual event. It stormed and stormed and stormed, but not even the snow could stop our 'LRBAA glow' and so 'layered up', we proceeded to put on a show for approximately 50 community residents, who turned out to cheer and sing-along with youth performers of the Lenox Christian Youth Chorus.Turkeys, toys and holiday themed gift baskets were given out to those who braved the cold.

Before lighting the tree, (on display into January 2014 on the premises of 270 Lenox Road), we took the opportunity to recognize some of our building caretakers/'supers' for an outstanding job in caring for our residential spaces and addressing the concerns of our neighbors. On hand to accept certificates of recognition and holiday turkeys (compliments of Haitian American Community Coalition) were, Jean Celestine, Superintendent of 300 Lenox Road and Maritza Acosta, Superintendent of 50 Lenox Road.
