A memorial service, organized by Three Parks Independent Democrats, will take place on Sun., Oct. 1, at 4:00 p.m., at St. Michael’s Episcopal Church; the entrance is on Amsterdam Ave. near the corner of W. 100th St.

In addition, a local poetry group, the Thursday Morning Poets, plans a tribute to Cynthia on Sat., Sept. 30, 1 p.m., at the community flower garden adjacent to Hippo Park, inside Riverside Park at W. 91st St. For more information, contact isabooklady@aol.com.

May her memory be for a blessing. 

Be safe, and keep in touch with us.

Thanks!
