Dear Neighbors:
We hope that you are enjoying the "gardens" at the entranceway to
101 and the
newly beautified 3rd floor deck.
Thanks to the cooperators and staff members who have been instrumental
in
this project. Our gratitude and thanks to Jim Murray, of 10 Clinton
Street, who
has been unselfish and generous with his time, knowledge, advice,
encouragement
and elbow grease; we could not have done this without him. Members
of the
Volunteer Garden Group have donated energy, money and floral plants,
as have
cooperators. Our Manager, Luis Pineda and his staff, Paul Tornabene
and the
maintenance staff, Ron, Caesar and many others have been especially
supportive and
cooperative.
We would like to add to the flowers and small bushes that have already
been
planted and encourage cooperators to contribute autumn plants, such
as
chrysanthemums. Please mark them with your name and apartment number
and leave them
with the Security Guard----we will do the rest. Thank you.

A good deed "Mass Transit" story:
May 8th, 2002
Boy, what a Birthday I had today. I decided
this morning that I was going to St. Patrick's Cathedral
in Manhattan to light a candle for my Birthday, so long
and behold I hop on the uptown #4 Express train and connect
to the uptown #6 local at 42nd St. I get on the #6 Local
and there is a duffle bag directly under my seat. So now
I am thinking that someone had left, gotten off the train
and forgot their bag. I picked up the bag and got off the
next stop, which is my stop (51st.). Never thinking that
it may have contained a bomb. Inside the bag were blueprint,
floor plans for several apartments including an apt in Trump
Tower on Fifth Avenue, also the gentleman's stock portfolio
worth over one Million dollars, along with an expensive
Olympus camera.
The gentleman who forgot
it worked as a top consulting engineer for a firm on 42nd
St. I continued to St. Patrick's for the 12 noon mass. I
returned home and decided to call him. The guy was so happy
that I found his belongings. He said that he never thought
his things would be returned. He said that he would send
over his assistant by car service to pick up the bag this
evening. I mentioned to him that I was on my way to St.
Patrick's to light a candle for my Birthday and that I took
3 pictures of the church while I had the camera. He went
hysterical laughing. I had to try out the camera since I
was purchasing one in a couple of days.
The end of the story was
that his assistant came by around 6:30pm, picked up the
bag and handed me an envelope with my name on it. I decided
since I was rushing to go out to dinner with friends in
Manhattan, that I would open the envelope at the restaurant.
I opened the envelope and inside was 5 twenty dollar bills.
Now I can put this money toward that new camera I promised
myself.
Now in a test and trial stage, this Website can
eventually offer cooperators many possible resources, including:
Putting in maintenance requests by email
Communication with management by email
Support for the homebound
Discussion forums about building, cooperator and community
issues
The lobby bulletin boards online
Forms you can fill out online
Archive of Board & committee meeting minutes, keyword searchable
Maps and directions you can send your visitors
The CT Handbook, readily updateable
Apartment sales info
þDownloadable
apartment floor plans
Our Cadman Views newsletter online
History and photo archive of our buildings
Personal and social activities of our neighbors & the CTA
Site search engine and one-click table of contents
þAccessibility
from any online computer in the world

photo of the building - without the scaffolding! How about a cooperators
forum - ideas which work, vendors who are reliable, workmen who
are not, tips on keeping the apartment hot/cold.... ways to manage
during the facade work...Whatever...Let's
see what happens with the website. Good luck, and thanks forvolunteering!. "

Your ideas are great. It will be really good looking when complete.
What are the next steps to make cooperators more aware of the site
and get their input?"
Fermaint@aol.com wrote
"just wanted to send a note and say how
great it will be to have a web page."
CadmanResident@aol.com
brought up a serious response to one of our thoughts: "To whom it may concern: This is
only a suggestion. Click onto the "Parkchester"
website. As you can see, one of the icons reads "Contact us". Parkchester
has decided not to have email forwarded to their office. Cadman
Towers can have residents fill out a complaint form on the computer
and place it in a box which can be located in the lobby of 101 Clark
St. and 10 Clinton St. Trust me, you don't want to have 100
or more emails to tend too. This is suggestion that you may
want to consider."
Just the kind of input we need. Join the committee!
