To all my readers, I would
like to send the warmest
wishes for a great new
year.
It’s been a roller coaster of
2021 and we’re here and ready
to take on the new one … Hello,
2022!
Th ose of you who read my column
know of my devotion to
Claire Shulman, who accomplished
so much for our great
borough of Queens.
During her 16 years as borough
president, Claire was pivotal
in ensuring the progress
of a number of cultural
institutions, including
the Queens Museum of
Art, the New York Hall
of Science, Queens
Th eatre in the Park
and the Museum of
the Moving Image.
Her building projects
forever changed
the landscape of
Queens!
She also played a
major role in securing
funding for her
crown jewel: Th e completion
of the Queens
Hospital Center, a $170
million complex serving
400,000 patients annually,
which is the largest health care
provider in the borough.
TIME FOR REFLECTIONS
I think it’s totally appropriate
that we rename the facility as
“Th e Claire Shulman Queens
Hospital Center.”
Let’s honor the woman who
was a true public servant who
made each of our lives better.
If you support the idea, please
take a moment and send a short
note or email to our talented
Borough President President
Donovan Richards (info@
queensbp.org) and our exciting
incoming Mayor Eric Adams
(info@ericadams2021.com).
WHAT I LEARNED
I wanted to share some tips
with my readers that my friends
Carol and Jerry Levin shared
with me about how we can keep
our minds strong as we head into
the new year!
Monday: Learn a new word.
Learn how to spell it. Learn its
defi nition.
Tuesday: Learn limerick until
you can say it without looking.
Wednesday: Use your
non-dominant hand for 5-10
minutes.
Th ursday: Dress with your
eyes closed.
Friday: Learn the name of six
aircraft or ships.
Saturday: Read a paragraph
on a subject you know absolutely
nothing about. Re-read until
you can retain and retrieve the
information.
Sunday: Read a newspaper,
magazine or short story.
SHARING THOUGHTS
I’d like to send warm wishes
to my stunningly successful
staff at Schneps Media for making
me proud and serving the
community with their wisdom
and talent.
For that, I say, “thank you!”
To my friends and clients, both
old and new, you have enhanced
my life with your kindness, generosity
and love. You are all in
my heart.
Let us begin a new year with
the hopes of peace, prosperity,
health and love, and may your
dreams come true!
Keep dreaming and keep
reaching to make this a better
world!
Claire Shulman when
she was a nurse.
For me, the end of the year is a time to refl ect and
respect the people who infl uenced my life. It all starts
with family, so I wanted to share these words:
“Being a family means you are a part of something
very wonderful. It means you will love and be loved for
the rest of your life. No matter what.”
May your holidays sparkle with moments
of love, laughter and goodwill, and may
the year ahead be full of contentment and
joy. Have a happy holiday season!
