City Island truly is - A Slice of NYC Paradise. Nearly a couple of hundred Mussel Suckers and Clam Diggers came out to weather the cold and gathered at Trinity Church to participate in The First Foto and Film Festival.

Kudos to Hyonok Kim, Ron Terner, James Breen, Tommy Breen, Scott Ruderman and all the locals who made last night's event a local success.

Feedback from the crowds was that they enjoyed the five films made by, for and about City Islanders, Ms. Kim, Mr.Turner, and The Breen Brothers, who are gems to this coastal community.

Antes de Amabilidad Viene la Humildad.

La humildad convierte a la gente en ángeles, mientras que el orgullo los convierte en demonios.

La humildad te llevará a lugares, el talento no puede.

El poder es peligroso a menos que tengas humildad.

Mantente humilde y muestra amabilidad

Muéstrame un líder humilde y me has mostrado un líder sabio que comprenderá el significado de la amabilidad.

< FYI >

Before Kindness comes Humility.

The Paris Agreement was signed in 2016 within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, dealing with greenhouse-gas-emissions mitigation, adaptation, and finance.
