GNYADA, Tracy Morgan give turkeys
BY JASON COHEN
Each month, the Triboro Center on
Teller Avenue recognizes a member of
its staff who work hard whether or not
there’s a global pandemic.
This month, the Center acknowledged
the contributions of Nora
McGrail, a licensed practical nurse
(LPN), who was named the facility’s
Employee of the Month for October.
“Nora is simply a doll,” said Rose
Ferreira, Triboro’s recreation director.
“A great team player, she is a true
model of what a nurse should be. Her
residents love her, her colleagues
the same.”
Beginning as a fl oater when Triboro
fi rst hired her in January 2018, leadership
quickly noticed how well she performed
with the residents within the
Memory Care Unit. McGrail is also
very proactive with the care she gives
to her patients.

Bronx residents recently
had the chance to meet comedian
and actor Tracy
Morgan and get a turkey
for Thanksgiving.
On Nov. 24, The Greater
New York Automobile Dealers
Association (GNYADA)
in partnership with Manhattan
Motor Cars and LaSorsa
Chevrolet Buick in the Bronx
teamed up with East Side
House Settlement (ESHS) and
Morgan to deliver 500 turkeys
to families at the Mott Haven
Community Center.
For the past 20 years,
GNYADA and ESHS have
teamed up to distribute turkeys
during Thanksgiving.
In addition to food distribution,
EHSH also provides educational
and job training
each year to thousands of
Bronx residents.
All those who received a
turkey live at the Mott Haven
Community Center in
the south Bronx, an area that
was profoundly affected by
COVID-19. According to data,
the rate of positive cases in
Mott Haven, home to many
essential workers, was about
10 percent or three times the
citywide average.
Data also showed that
south Bronx residents have
high asthma rates — about
eight to 12 times the national
average — making them
particularly vulnerable to
the virus.
“East Side House is so
proud to be on the frontlines
of the pandemic relief serving
the community we love,” said
ESHS Executive Director
Daniel Diaz. “Since the pandemic
hit, East Side House
has made sure families have
what they need to survive,
including access to healthy
food. Today, we feed over
5,000 people per week. We are
so grateful for the over two
decades of partnership we’ve
had with GNYADA, and their
unwavering commitment to
supporting New Yorkers in
need. Now, when the need
is greatest, GNYADA has
stepped up in a big way. Their
donation of turkeys will make
Thanksgiving dinner a bright
spot during a tough year for
our families.”
GNYADA President Mark Schienberg, Manhattan Motorcars Principal Brian Miller, LaSorsa Chevrolet Buick Principal
John LaSorsa, and Tracy Morgan, help distribute Thanksgiving turkeys to those in need.
