RAISING SAFE KIDS: ONE STAGE AT A TIME

TIPPING FURNITURE: A HIDDEN HAZARD IN YOUR HOME: Whether you have a baby learning to stand, an unsteady toddler trying to climb or a fearless preschooler who still doesn’t quite understand balance, furniture tip-overs are a real danger for kids. Regardless of your child’s abilities and limitations, top-heavy furniture, TVs and appliances can tip over and seriously injure young children. There are many easy-to-install devices that anchor furniture to the wall, making furniture more stable and tip-over resistant. These devices are designed for dressers, wall units and anything your little explorer might try to climb.

NYC NONPROFIT ASSISTANCE

Mayor Bloomberg outlined new initiatives to help New York City's more than 40,000 cultural, health and social service nonprofit organizations face challenges heightened by the economic downturn. A growing number of nonprofit organizations in New York City - which collectively employ more than 490,000 New Yorkers or 15 percent of the City's workforce - are experiencing an increase in client needs while facing declines in financial resources. To address these challenges, the City's plan will reduce nonprofit organizations' fixed costs, enhance the responsiveness and efficiency of City contracting procedures and facilitate building new partnerships for stronger nonprofits.

VISION FOR STATEN ISLAND

Vision for Staten Island is a community initiative to bring together citizens and public and private leaders from throughout the borough to create an inclusive and comprehensive vision for the future. The vision will identify shared goals for all aspects of the Island’s life, and specific steps to implement each goal. Vision for Staten Island is a process of continuous refinement of the ideas gathered from the public. The first step in refining the content of the vision is to organize the ideas into topics, identify basic themes within each topic, and construct a draft vision statement for each topic. The second step in the refinement process is to address questions raised by the ideas and themes. This is done by conducting the Reality Check workshops and by inviting experts as well as the public to the workshops. The third step is to convene Topical Workgroups. These groups will meet for several months and will strategize the vision by identifying specific implementation steps. At the end of the process, the vision will be presented to the public at the Staten Island Congress. There the vision will be ratified and prioritized. What started as a broad canvassing of ideas and opinions will become an agreed upon, compelling, and implementable blueprint for the future of Staten Island.
