Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating the opening of the newly renovated Workmen's Circle MultiCare Center. "This facility has served thousands and thousands of people over the past 60 years. As former Chairman of the Assembly Committee on Aging, I'm well aware of the excellent reputation of the Workmen's Circle MultiCare Center. I know that with this renovation, they will be able to provide even better services for the many people who reside there," said Assemblyman Dinowitz.

Photo Gallery of Today’s 2011 State of the Borough Address by Bronx Brought President Ruben Diaz Jr.

Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. came out like a rock star today to address a full house at DeWitt Clinton High School. The audience for his 2011 State of the Borough Address included political figures, business men and women, community activists and everyday people curious to see what the Borough President had to say. It was a strong show of solidarity and pride by our Borough with a great introduction video prepared by Bronxnet showing various stars born or raised in the Bronx. Please see below photos taken from the event.
