We are especially pleased to announce that this year the club will be honoring:

State Assemblyman Micah Kellner

Assembly Member Kellner represents New York’s 65th Assembly District which encompasses the Upper East Side, Yorkville and Roosevelt Island. Since his election in 2007, Assembly Member Kellner has become the State’s leading advocate for people with disabilities and has fought to improve the lives of everyday New Yorkers. This past year, he played a crucial role in expanding access in New York City’s transportation system for people with disabilities.

One good thing about being involved in politics in this city is experiencing the moments when the vibrant culture we live in every day intersects with the politics that we all enjoy. Today I’d like to let you know about two upcoming events: one cultural, and one that blends politics and culture together.

Our own assemblyman, Micah Kellner, brings us an event which bridges the world of politics and film: a documentary on the dangers of hydrofracking. Gasland has been called“one of the most effective and expressive environmental films of recent years” by Robert Koehler of Variety and was the winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. If you haven’t had a chance to see this enlightening film, you owe it to yourself to join Assemblyman Kellner for this special presentation.

Be sure to RSVP!
Please register online with Food & Water Watch at or call Assembly Member Kellner’s office at 212-860-4906.

Wheelchair Access: Enter through the Black Hall entrance located at 133 East 77th Street and take elevator ‘24′ to floor ‘LA.’ Take a right out of the elevators. Through the doors at the end of the hallway is Einhorn Auditorium’s stage with a wheelchair lift.

The second event come to us from a member of the East Side Democratic Club, Leon Negrin:

Eight years ago, Leon’s wife, Eliette Markhbein, suffered a traumatic brain injury after being hit by a speeding car. After her rehabilitation, she set about creating large scale portraits of other TBI survivors who have gone on to become role models for others. Twelve of these large scale portraits are being exhibited from March 15 to April 15th in the Medical Science Building Gallery at NYU Langone Medical Center.

Please join her for the Opening Reception on Thursday, March 15th from 6 to 8 PM.

The invitation can be found here.

Anyone who picked up a presidential delegate petition at our last meeting, and hasn’t turned it in yet, please give Dillon a call at (518) 506-4601 or shoot over an email to dillon (at) lenoxhilldems.org to arrange a pickup. Petitions are due this weekend, and the club is coordinating people who will be collecting them through out the weekend to get them turned.
