Roosevelt Island Pop Up Market Vendors Donating Proceeds To Carter Burden Center

Last Friday, December 16, Roosevelt Island senior Wendy Hersh and her colleagues handed a check in the amount of $1,000 to Carter Burden Roosevelt Island Senior Center Director Lisa Fernandez. Ms. Hersh noted it's nice to see people:

... come in here and see them smile and spend time in the center where they just used to just come in get their lunch and walk out.....  

and adds:

It is all about working as a team..working with these ladies was great...As seniors, we just want to help in any way that we can to give the seniors on RI what they need and what they deserve. It's not about the credit of who did what, but how working together resulted in a success.

38 vendors attended the 2016 Roosevelt Island Seniors Holiday Pop Up market in what is hoped to become an annual event. Here are some of the vendors
