Montefiore Park Holiday Tree Lighting

Thanks to all who came out to see the Montefiore Park Holiday Tree Lighting event. Special thanks to our Montefiore Park Neighborhood Association friends who, working behind the scenes averted cancellation of this annual Hamilton Heights tradition due to a park wide electrical failure. Our heroes ensuring this year event include Shamell Martin of Partnership for Parks, Parks Operations Chief Namshik Yoon and his wonderful crew, Manhattan Borough Commissioner Bill Castro’s Chief of Staff Steve Simon, Emily Weidenhof and Andrew Ronan of the Department of Transportation and a special thanks to our Councilmember Mark Levine, along with 30th Precinct Community Affairs Officer Ana Almonte and Sargent Mike Amoresano, - all of whose efforts made for one of the finest examples of cross agency cooperation in order to bring Holiday cheer to children and families of Hamilton Heights. On behalf of all in the community and the Montefiore Park Neighborhood Association. THANK YOU ALL and Happy Holidays! - Basia & Michael
