This year, we began the reconnection with a planning meeting. Lisa Fernandez, Louella, and others from the Senior Center as well as with Jane Swanson, Cornell Community Liaison in June and RIGC Board members attended. Then, Outreach and Publicity Chair, Robert Ostergaard and Secretary, Jack Burkhalter carried this project through the summer into the fall. The Senior Center leadership wanted to learn more about plants and about how to help seniors manage and enjoy their beautiful patio garden. With Robert and Jack's help and teaching, they were able to do just that. The final celebration and collaboration for this season happened at the End of Summer Potluck Party at the Roosevelt Island Senior Center on Friday, September 21, 2018!
