Community Board 11 Unity Day at Orchard Beach

Community Board 11 Unity Day at Orchard Beach

By Robert Press

Lorreto Park in Community Board 11 where the last Community Rally which drew over three hundred people is under construction so CB 11 Chair Al D’Angelo had to find another place that was outdoors, could hold hundreds of people, could offer a nice background, but had to have parking, because people would have to drive to it. That place which had all of those things was the French Riviera of the Bronx, Orchard Beach. 

One can not predict the weather, but as the days get closer to Memorial Day, the official opening of Orchard Beach, the weather is warmer, and the days are nicer. Wednesday was a nice day, but the forecast was for rain in the evening hours. The Community Board 11 Unity Day went off as planned, and shortly after the event was over the rain came down which may have kept some people home. However there were close to one hundred people of all religions, and ethnicities present at the CB 11 Unity Day at Orchard Beach.
