The NYS Masonic Safety ID Program, in coordination with New York Life resident agent Carol Tanjutco, are offering free Child and Senior ID and fingerprinting services, with their personal copies recorded in compact discs to be given to Island residents during this year's Roosevelt Island Day. This gives added peace of mind to parents, a vital reference in case of missing persons. Co-sponsors of the event are Gristedes and Urban Planning.

The coordination of Roosevelt Island Youth Program and Urban America, "Charlie and Doreen" is simply one of the 10 best in this city forget the island. It rained but the event was still great and I just from the concert and it was fabulous.

What a concert 200 resident, my kids had cotton candy, popcorn, drinks, candy apples, rides, got a free ID and balloons. Then tonight I took them to a concert were residents from all building on the island were there, dancing singing along. We are all tired but in these tough times I can say this might have been my first day where I did not spend one penny and we are all ready to sleep.

Thanks to those who do these things for the residents, I am glad I moved my family here.
