Co-op City Times / July 10, 2010
Broun Place Townhouse Association July 4th, 2010 has passed and the year is really going by quickly. It looks like autumn school supplies and clothes are already for sale. Hard to believe! We hope everyone spent a safe and happy holiday. The change in July 4th fireworks display sites this year made it more convenient for Section 5 residents. Broun Place encourages residents to patronize the coming Farmer’s Market and thanks Ms. Michelle Sajous, Director of Community Relations, for her efforts. We applaud the continuation of the
important senior centers throughout Coop City. They supply a wonderful program for our senior residents. Materials left by Mr. Pou on the Health Care Program, Medicare and co-insurance are still available – let your president know you want them. Mr. Pou promised he will be back in the autumn to answer more questions for us. Make it your goal to participate in maintaining and improving Co-op City. If you have a cat that hasn’t been spayed or neutered, do not let it out. Please alert

Zodiacs Track Club The Zodiacs have been blessed big time. Our children worked hard all year to reach the goal of qualifying for the 2010 Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) Junior Olympics. Yes, we were blessed 41 times. That’s right, 41 athletes from the Zodiacs Track Team qualified for 2010 AAU Junior Olympics that will be hosted in Hampton Roads, Virginia. On June 25 - 27, the Zodiacs competed in the AAU Regional 1 national qualifier at Regis College, Weston, MA. Regional 1 consists of New York, New Jersey, New England and Connecticut. Last year, we set a personal record of having 19 athletes qualify for the Junior Olympics. We more than doubled that record with 41 athletes. The children who did not qualify ran their personal best and we are proud of them. They will make it next year.
