ANNUAL HOLIDAY TOY DRIVE

Our annual Holiday Toy Drive scheduled for December 5, 2021 at Parnell’s Restaurant had to be cancelled due to Covid. All who wished to donate gifts were asked to drop off their unwrapped gifts at Parnell’s between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM. Examples of gifts needed for young children were: dolls, games, footballs, and stuffed animals. Also needed were miscellaneous items for teens and adults: warm hats, gloves and scarves also.

Several TBA members were present to accept the toys/gifts, thank the recipients for their donations and wait for Single Parents Resource Center come by and take away the gifts.

Those who were are unable to drop off a gift and wished to make a contribution, were asked to make checks payable to one of these tax-deductible organizations: Single Parent Resource Center, Vanderbilt YMCA Scholarship Fund, God’s Love We Deliver.

Happily, our modified version was a great success. A heartfelt thank you to all who participated.

Flashback Friday to 1949 with a fantastic photo of Flashback Friday to 1949 with a fantastic photo of former Turtle Bay resident, Katharine Hepburn near her home at 244 East 49th Street. 

The screen legend called Turtle Bay Gardens home from 1931 until the mid-90’s. When the TBA was formed in 1957, Ms. Hepburn joined immediately and was involved in actions from preserving the neighborhood’s trees to protecting mid-blocks from high-rise construction.

In 1997, the Katharine Hepburn Garden in Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza was dedicated to pay tribute to her lifelong love of flowers and gardening and as a token of gratitude for her commitment to the park and the neighborhood. The intersection of Second Avenue and East 49th Street was renamed Katharine Hepburn Place after her death in 2003. 

While we do not know the photographer’s name to credit the source properly, please note that we obtained this 1949 photo from @citizenscreen
