CALLING ALL CAREGIVERS 
Our FREE YMCA Caring for Caregivers support group program is now entering its second year, and we are looking forward to seeing new and returning members in our meetings at the Long Island City YMCA and for other in-person and online events this year.
In our program, the focus is on the caregivers.
Caregivers often give up a lot in their own lives, while caring for others. Many caregivers feel strong emotions due to caregiving pressures. 
We support you to take care of yourself better AND get more assistance in your caregiving role from state, city, and community resources.
Then you can feel better about your caregiving, minimize burnout, and feel more fulfilled in your own life.

Citywide

Has anyone noticed that the only vendor to sell NYC-certified curbside recycling bins is Home Depot? That's called a Sole Source contract and the only reason for its use, as defined by a reliable internet search, is as follows:


"A sole source contract is a non-competitive agreement awarded directly to a single supplier without a standard bidding process. It's typically used only when that specific vendor is the only one capable of providing the required product or service, such as with proprietary technology or extreme emergencies."
Those bins are two separate 50-gallon wheeled models—one blue and one green—bearing an official NYC Department of Sanitation seal. They've been sold out for weeks at Home Depot, and building owners who fail to put them out on designated recycling days face immediate summonses and fines from the city.
This is simply unconscionable.
Does anyone smell a rigged city contract?
