Annual Meeting with Ben Kallos Keith Powers

The Turtle Bay Association held its annual meeting on November 11, 2019, 6:30pm in the conference room at the Vanderbilt YMCA.

Bill Curtis, President welcomed the members attending. The agenda included the election of officers and directors, the Treasurer’s report and a report from all committee chairs.

Keith Powers, Council Member from District 4 and Ben Kallos, Council Member from District 5 gave the membership an update on local issues. This was followed by a Q & A period.

The well attended members were treated to a lite supper with dessert and beverages.

Introducing TBA’s Newest Directors

Rebekah Flig has long been involved with community matters in the Murray Hill area—she is the Treasurer of the Murray Hill Neighborhood Association, and a Co-Chair of the Young Professionals Networking Group. Educated at New York University and The George Washington University, she specializes in capital markets business development in the mortgage finance industry, where she is currently a SVP at SWBC Lending Solutions. As a new Director on the Turtle Bay Association, she immediately joined the Communications Committee, and is leading the way in developing TBA’s social media networking. She is also working to expand the organization with professional networking events. Her expertise brings a new perspective to TBA.

Judy L Randall recently moved to Turtle Bay from Staten Island where she was a reporter for the Staten Island Advance, and worked with various civic organizations. Educated at Adelphi University in Political Studies, and New York University in Journalism, she has already written articles on community issues for the Turtle Bay Newsletter. In her role as a new Director on the Turtle Bay Board, she is already working with the Land Use Committee; reporting on local development issues, and acting as the Association’s liaison to Community Board No. 6’s Land Use Committee.
She is also a member TBA Special Events Committee.

Richard Sheehan moved to the Beekman Place area of Turtle Bay from Malverne, NY, where he worked on projects for a number of community organizations; including as President of the Malverne Civic Association. Educated at Fordham University, he has worked extensively in banking, and is now Vice President at New York Community Bank. As it happened, Richard came on board as a relatively new TBA Director, just as our previous Treasurer, Dick Irwin, retired; and we are happy to say that he was handily elected Treasurer in our November TBA Annual Meeting. Congratulations to Rich Sheehan.

Since it’s World Turtle Day, it is the perfect t Since it’s World Turtle Day, it is the perfect time to shell-ebrate the unique name and history of our neighborhood which is located in East Midtown, Manhattan. 

The neighborhood is named for a small crescent-shaped cove, called Turtle Bay, that dates back to the 1700s and once ran from today’s 45th Street to approximately 48th Street. A meandering stream, called Turtle Creek, flowed southeasterly, emptying into the bay at the foot of what is now 47th Street.

Interested in finding out more about the history of this unique neighborhood? Head over to the Turtle Bay Association website via link in bio.
