Vote for Tamarin for GN parks

The Island Now

On Tuesday, Dec. 14 you have an opportunity to vote for Ruth Tamarin for park commissioner.

True, she is running unopposed, but if a write-in campaign is launched by another candidate, and those who would like to see Ruth stay on as commissioner do not turn out and vote, we could have a result similar to what took place in Alaska – an election of a write-in candidate.

Why should we care? Because Ruth Tamarin is a dynamo who cares for our parks and has accomplished all of the following:

She led the effort to extend Steppingstone Park by purchasing the Cohan property.

She was at the forefront of the renovation and restoration of Great Neck House.

She is the visionary behind the PlayGarden on the Village Green.

She helped accomplish – over a period of several years – an aquatic center that is the pride of the park community;

She worked to increase the programs and usage of the skating rink.

Not enough? She is enthusiastic, hard-working, and knowledgeable, and she cares deeply about residents and their families, and is responsive to their needs.

More? Ruth helped to upgrade business procedures, increased municipal agreements, and fought to preserve the park district from being consolidated. She’s a hands-on commissioner who attends meetings, accepts tasks, and works to accomplish them!

I’ve known Milt and Ruth Tamarin since I moved to Great Neck – more than 30 years ago – and I am proud and honored to have them as friends. I suppose, if you look long enough, you will find someone as good as Ruth is, but you will never find anyone better!

Go vote for Ruth Tamarin.
