Check out this preview of 16 Acres
On Wednesday, May 15, 2013 the Rotary Club of Wall Street New York, will be hosting a special screening of the film feature “16 Acres” at Silverstein Properties, 7 World Trade Center.
16 Acres tells the story of how and why the World Trade Center was rebuilt following the tragic events of September 11, 2001. The rebuilding of ground zero is one of the most architecturally, politically, and emotionally complex urban renewal projects in American history. Three thousand workers are building four of the tallest skyscrapers in America, an iconic train station, a performing arts center, a sacred memorial and museum. What will emerge in downtown Manhattan over the next few years will redefine the New York City and our nation for generations.
The Rotary Club of Wall Street is proud to support the artistic and historical endeavor that is 16 Acres, and showcase it in a spectacular venue in the World Trade Center, overlooking the 9/11 Memorial. Together with our venue sponsor, Silverstein Properties, and other generous supporters like you, we can be a part of the monumental undertaking to preserve the legacy of 9/11 and the rebuilding efforts.

NY Cares Day – April 20
NY Cares Day is on Saturday, April 20, 2013.
New York Cares: Hands On New York Day (coordinator: Jens)
The Rotary Club of Wall Street, the Rotaract Club at the United Nations and Rotary Club of Metro NYC will be joining 5,000 volunteers to give New York City a good spring greening and get our parks, gardens, and community spaces ready for summer
by gardening, painting, weeding, and revitalizing these urban oases. Last year, in public sites throughout the five boroughs, volunteers filled 10,400 garbage bags with winter debris, painted 9,305 feet of fencing and
transformed 75 of our city’s parks, community gardens and green spaces – all to beautify New York City and prepare it for spring.

“Thank you!” from Dea
Dear Rotary Club of Wall Street Members,
Hope all is well with you.
As all of you know, Dea, the Gift of Life child that our Club sponsored, was released from the hospital about a month ago to recuperate at a host family’s place in Riverdale. During her stay with the host family, she became healthier, stronger, and more energetic each day. She gained four pounds and grew an inch taller too! Dea recuperated as well as doctors had expected so she and her mother were able to go home as planned on Thursday night. I was just informed that they had arrived home in Kosova safe and sound.
Dea and Ajshe are grateful to all the Club had done for them, giving her a new heart and a start of a new chapter in her life. Dea asked me to convey a message to you…..”Because of you, I can now smile and I can live a normal life. Thank you.”
Special thanks to Chrissy Livergood, who greeted Dea and Ajshe at the airport when they arrived; Susanne Gellert, who purchased toys for Dea and visited them at the hospital; Fabiola Eyholzer Stump, who visited them at the hospital / at the host family’s residence, and gave a pair of hip colorful sneakers to Dea; Christina Mendez, who purchased gifts for Dea and her siblings on behalf of the Club, Thomas Rudy, who visited them at the hospital and gave them continuous support; and last but not least, Ralf Wimmershoff, who took them to lunch, visited them at the hospital / at the host family’s residence, and attended at Dea’s farewell pizza party on behalf of the Club.
All of you have impacted a little girl and her family’s life. Thank you so much for all your support. Enjoy your weekend, everyone!
All the best,
Kazumi

February 27 meeting with Metro Club
This Wednesday, February 27th, we will be attending the club meeting of the Rotary Club of Metro New York.
Please note that we will NOT be meeting at the Down Town Association and that the meeting time will be different as well. Our club has a close relationship with the Metro Club, which we support by attending each other’s events every year. In October, Metro members came to our club.
Join us on Wednesday when we will visit their club at Trattoria Dopo Teatro (125 West 44th Street), dress code not so snazzy as our club) from 7:30 until 9:30PM.
The meeting fee at the Metro Club is $30 and includes a 4-course dinner. The featured speaker will be Noah Schwartz, who is a wine writer for “Direct Wines.” Please join me and show support for our great relationship by attending.

Dea is doing well!
Hello RCWS Members & Friends,
Just wanted to update you on Dea’s condition. I was able to visit Dea and Ajshe on yesterday afternoon and met their new host family in Riverdale. Dea was so energetic, walking around, talking, eating, laughing……being a normal 8 year old girl. Her scar seems to be healing well too. It was hard to believe she had an open heart surgery just 10 days ago. Great to see her recovering so well. Great to see her smile.
On Friday afternoon, I received a call and an email from the childcare committee of Gift of Life that Dea needed warm clothes and a pair of pajamas so I took the liberty to purchase some clothes for her. I got a pair of pajamas, two sweatshirts , two sweatpants, one jacket, and two pairs of jeans (see attached) for $37 including tax! They were having a big sale:-) She tried some of them on and they fit perfectly (a little big but she can grow into them) and she loved them……mission accomplished!
On Monday, Dea will have her doctor’s appointment. They have about three weeks left before they go home so please show them your support if you can. If any of you want to go visit them, please let me know.
Please contact us with the date and the approximate time that you would like to visit.
Best,
Kazumi
