Thanks to everyone who joined us last week for our 50th Anniversary Celebration. It was a wonderful evening with cocktails at our Long Island City location, and dinner and program at American Brass. Guests included local supporters, members of the SCS Board of Directors, program participants, and SCS staff. Queens Borough President Donovan Richards presented a proclamation honoring SCS for 50 years of service to the community. The program included remarks by Judy Zangwill, Executive Director for SCS; Lisa Deller, President of the SCS Board of Directors; Harry Otterman, owner of Norcor Management Corp; NYC Council Member Julie Won; and U.S. Representative Nydia Velázquez. Fifty years ago, SCS was founded as a small senior center. So, it was extra special to us that Lee Stookey, widow of Byron Stookey, one of SCS’ founding members, was in attendance with their daughter Sarah, to help us celebrate our golden anniversary. During the event, we announced a significant new initiative: an affordable housing community for older adults featuring 61 units to be located in Sunnyside, Queens. The land for the project was generously donated by Harry Otterman, who was honored at the event. An event like this is not possible without the support of our sponsors. Thanks to all of our sponsors, including Bank of America, TF Cornerstone, Plaxall, Inc., Triad Management, USI Insurance Services, Ned Steele, Amit Kalra, and David Levin.   Photos by Ramy Mahmoud. #gala #philanthropy #fundraiser #queensny #nyc
