Please, note that The City Island Civic Association meets on the last Tuesday of every month (except December) at the City Island Community Center, 190 Fordham Street. Meetings start at 7:30 p.m.
All residents of City Island who wish to bring concerns are always welcomed.
Paying your dues is also important, so please try to stay current if you can!

SECRETS OF NEW YORK premieres on NYC life TV channel 25 on Tuesday, June 21 at 8:30 pm. Episodes will also be available to view on nyc.gov/vod and on the NYC Media app (available for download on iTunes).
