Board president Gary Altman’s memo two weeks ago listing the many staff members who work at East River was a help for those of us who want to show our appreciation around the holidays — but without photos to go along with the names you may not be able to give a tip to everyone you’d like.

I’ve been told by whoever answers House Committee emails that if you drop an envelope at the maintenance office with a staff member’s name on it, they will make sure the right person gets it.

Furthermore, the House Committee will continue to explore at their next meeting how to more easily and equitably distribute holiday gratuities. If you have a suggestion, you can email ERhousecommittee@aol.com.
