MHNA Street Festival Postponed Until 2022 The Trustees of The Murray Hill Neighborhood Association have made the difficult decision not to hold the MHNA Street Festival on July 31, 2021. While New York City government has opened up street festivals with very few COVID19-related restrictions, we do not feel that we will be able to hold a successful and productive event on such short notice. Instead, we will be focusing our energy on planning for the 2022 festival. Next year’s event will be reimagined as a hyper-local arts and crafts festival that will be smaller than in recent years with a focus on artisans, small businesses, and local restaurants. We would like this new format to bring back some of the unique neighborhood personality that our block parties used to have, while allowing independent makers to showcase their wares. We will of course have our great MHNA tables, including the flea market, book sale, and bake sale. If you are interesting in helping to plan the 2022 MHNA Street Festival, please reach out to Ashley Petrylak at [email protected]. Traffic & transportation advisory 1 East 36th Street between Lexington & Park Avenue Weekend closures through July 25. This street will be closed Saturday from 8am to 6pm and Sunday from 9am to 6pm through 7/25/21 for major gas installation. Loud drilling may be heard. FDR Drive Service Road between East 40 Street and East 41 Street This street will be closed except for morning rush hours Monday and Tuesday from 7am to 10am through 7/20/21 to facilitate emergency transformer replacement. 42nd Street Shuttle Summer Services Changes The MTA is entering the final phase of work on improvements to the 42nd Street Shuttle.

Box 1897 New York, NY 10156-1897 212-886-5867 murrayhillnyc.org Remembering Joe Di Domenico It is with great sadness that we mark the passing of Murray Hill Neighborhood Association Honorary Trustee Joe Di Domenico (aka Joey Dee). For those who had the good fortune to know him, he was unceasingly supportive and generous with his time, effort and skills. He did whatever needed to be done with graciousness and panache, while at the same time, celebrating other people’s achievements. Over the years, he created graphics for MHNA publicity, designed templates for the layout of the MHNA printed newsletter, did the graphic design for many MHNA flyers, brochures and booklets and developed a customized membership computer system on MS Access which was in use for many years. He also helped with tasks ranging from weeding the Park Avenue Malls to assisting with events. He did this as a Trustee, and later as an Honorary Trustee and remained supportive until the very end. He loved Murray Hill. He will be missed! Beat the heat!

Stop the spread using a layered approach: • get vaccinated • wear face coverings when you are with people who are not vaccinated or if you are not vaccinated (consult your physician if you are immunocompromised) • maintain distance if not vaccinated or if you are with unvaccinated people (6 feet between people) • practice good hand hygiene • stay home if sick (seek care if you feel seriously ill) When community rates of infection are high, limit non-essential activities, travel and indoor gatherings with people who are not vaccinated. Vaccinations Vaccinations are free, and are now readily available. All New Yorkers age 12+ are eligible. Public health officials recommend getting vaccinated as soon as you are eligible. Currently the Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines are being administered. The J&J is a one-shot vaccine. Only the Pfizer vaccine has been approved for people age 12 - 17.

Presidents Letter -March/April 2019 Table of Contents AND THE SURVEY SAID…. President’s Letter 1&2 A huge THANK YOU to all who completed the survey sent out Membership Matters earlier this year! It has provided us with some concrete ideas we 3 can address when it comes to holding future National Specialty. TTHWF We received a ton of data and currently are exploring ways to share these results with everyone in a simplified way. Most of the 4 people who responded had attended the 2018 National and 53% Journal/Yearbook Advertising Form noted their experiences were excellent, 45% felt it was average. 5 Our goal is to get more people attending and having a great time! The OFA The most attended activity, according to those who participated in the survey, was the Auction Dinner, with the Conformation, the 6 Annual Meeting and the Top 20 to follow in that order. As AKC Canine Health Grants President I was excited to see the stats on the attendance at the 7&8 Annual meeting. People also commented on the importance of this Meet the Breeds event, noting it is an “obligation” as a member of the Club, and I agree. When ranking the order of the events people consider the 9 most important to the TTCA, “Conformation, Sweeps & Futurity” AKC PAC was #!. Performance events were #2, Breeder Education #3, and 10 thru 13 with the Auction #4. It terms of it’s ranking, the Annual Meeting Touring the AKC Museum of the Dog was ranked last! It may not be one of the most fun parts of the National but it is one of the most important and it define us as an 14 AKC Parent Club.

This week on the show, we track three stories in the headlines from 100 years ago, from the first week of May 1919, Mike Shuster recalls Britain threatening to reinstate the blockade if Germany resisted signing the Versailles Treaty, appalling many, Dr. Edward Lengel continues his top ten countdown of personal accounts from World War I.
