Automated Call Center:
It is
software to dial and inform the entire town of any new information or updated information.
It can also be used for an emergency for the town, or results of a special meeting, it can dial certain streets of
our town, which makes it very useful for street repair or construction.
The “Golden Frame”:
In following
the Egyptian Custom, I bought the 4’x9’ golden frame as a gift to the Borough of Prospect Park. The original intention
was to mount photographs of the present and past Mayors who served over the past one hundred years with the Golden Frame;
this would have been in conjunction with the 100th Anniversary Celebration in the year 2001.
After
the 911 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center Twin Towers, Washington, DC, Pennsylvania, and on America, the significance of the golden frame became apparent. Following the eventual total destruction of the Twin Towers, New York City authorities installed two (2) flood lights aimed skywards forming
two (2) separate beams of light symbolizing the absence of the Twin Towers.
 
Immigrant
Workers Freedom Ride:
As one of the first Arab-Americans in the NY Metro area to win elective
office, I was the Chairperson of a national program in Prospect Park to participate in the “Immigrant Workers Freedom
Bus Ride” in late September in NYC for a rally of many tens of thousands of union members and immigrants in Flushing
Meadows Park, Queens, NY. This was in connection with the AFL-CIO, NYC Central
Labor Council, Major International Unions, National Immigrant and Civil Rights Groups, Religious Institutions, Student and
community organizations, prominent Elected Officials, and others.
