was very good as well.

UPDATE 7/10 - Roosevelt Island resident Joanne Eichel shares this message she sent to RIOC Public Information Officer Alonza Roberston:

I wanted to let you know I thought the organization for the July 4th fireworks and the related activities was excellent.

The detailed maps in particular were very helpful, taking the guesswork out of the options for viewing the fireworks and pathways to get there.

Having the Cornell campus open to us was really lovely as another peaceful setting for relaxing and enjoying the refreshments.

Please feel free to share this with those responsible for making the July 4th celebration well organized and fun for the RI community.
