M’Finda Kalunga Community Garden once again hosts its annual Juneteenth celebration! This year we will dedicate the Elizabeth Hubbard Memorial Garden to honor our beloved Garden mentor (and founding Sara Roosevelt Coalition member).
Community Board Chair Gigi Li will do the honors. Bob Humber and Kim Fong will accept the plaque. Music, poetry, and dance will ensue!
Come and check it out.
We are sad to see Annie go but thrilled that she is following her dreams. Good luck in Kaua’i!
Annie was our President for the astonishing renovation of the Sara Roosevelt Park at Hester Street. The IS 131 children’s tiles you see on the sides of the Playground are there because of her generosity, determination, diplomacy and artistic sensibilities.
We look forward to working with Dylan, her very able partner in HSC’s efforts these many years.

A very happy birthday to the beloved Bob Humber of M’Finda Kalunga Community Garden and the Coordinator of the Elizabeth Hubbard Memorial Garden!!
Ed Glass and K Webster were the guides as the Tenement Museum Tour Educators paid a visit to hear more specifics about the Sara Roosevelt Community Coalition and the M’Finda Kalunga Community Garden. The Tenement Museum is a vast storehouse of our local history and the guardians of an important past. They keep the legacy of those who built these neighborhoods alive for all to remember. Adam Steinberg has been the liaison to the Coalition and the Garden and it is always wonderful to hear his cheerful, commanding voice!
Yes the Paparazzi are at it again. This time with the Chickens as the focus!
The young women captured some gorgeous footage of our birds! We will check back in to get a link to those images.
There is an opening tonight of artwork by Lisa Revson a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Girls Club. The title? Fowl Play – for more info follow the link!
The Lo-Down reported:
Youth artists from School for Global Leaders 378M made artwork in the park on bullying.
News to us (thanks Lo-Down!), but good news to see this section of the Park in use by the local community!
