THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

THE ARENA BLOOMS

Finally, The Barclay Arena is set to open and a massive hiring program is underway. Several NYCHA Developments in a certain downtown area are being considered for placement. Residents who live in LAFAYETTE GARDENS, Whitman, Farragut, Wyckoff, Gowanus, Ingersoll and Atlantic Terminal should be preparing to make an impression at the special job fairs being held specifically for this group of residents in June.

The news was delivered by Brice Ratner, Mayor Bloomberg and Chairman Rhea at a recent press conference explaining the basics of the jobs and numbers.

A special meeting and screening is being held b invitation only at Lafayette Gardens soon. The first round of employees to be considered are those who HAVE security card and license ALREADY in their possession.

If you are interested and are presentable, clean shaven and can pass both the finger prints and drug test contact TYree immediately for more information.

The next round is coming soon so prepare your resume and submit to TYree in the Resident Office.
