Bolivar “Boli” Bajana Moran just turned 102, and at Carter Burden Network, that is very much a reason to dance.
The celebration at our Leonard Covello Older Adult Center in East Harlem had all the makings of a proper Boli birthday: cake, music, dancing, and a room full of the family and friends who have watched him become something of a neighborhood legend.
After 36 years as Executive Director of the Carter Burden Network, Bill Dionne has retired. He leaves behind a legacy in the thousands of older adults whose lives he touched, one lunch table at a time.
We asked members from our newly minted Bill Dionne Luncheon Club what Bill meant to them. Here's what they told us.
Earlier this month, our Leonard Covello Older Adult Center welcomed some very special guests during the heatwave: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and NYC Aging Commissioner Dr. Lisa Scott-McKenzie.
Confidence doesn't have an age limit. Each look at our "Beauty at Any Age" fashion show was handmade in our sewing studio by the talented older adults.

On July 22nd, our Leonard Covello Older Adult Center hosted a free Bone Health Screening and community lecture in collaboration with the National Council on Aging and NYC Aging . Dr. Erlin J. Marte walked our members through osteoporosis risk, prevention, and how to talk to their doctors about bone health.
