I am a lifelong resident of NYC, the mother of four children (all living in NYC), the grandmother of some of NY's littlest residents and a sometime blogger as Urban Granny (www.urbangranny.com).
Ads Featuring Local Volunteers Were Produced by NYC & Company and Air Time Donated by Local TV and Cable Media Partners. New Volunteer Programs for Urban Beautification and Obesity Prevention Introduced.
As a child, my family believed strongly in the value of service. Our economic position did not allow for giving monetarily, so in exchange, we volunteered to help the community in every way possible.
As a native New Yorker, I love this city and all that it has to offer. I have been very fortunate and therefore feel a strong urge to give back - especially to my native borough, the Bronx.
