WQIDC members were in abundance at the home of our president Jimmy Van Bramer and Dan Hendrick for a neighborhood fundraiser for our very special Assemblymember Cathy Nolan. Councilmember Eric Gioia also dropped in to greet everyone. It was a good gathering and Cathy deserves our support.

See you in two weeks (Nov. 18th - 7 pm) at our meeting on Congestion Pricing to be held at the realty office of Dorothy Morehead, 45-18 Skillman Avenue, Sunnyside. (Remember even when we are not blogging, you can catch up on our news by reading our listserv messages.)
