To Ruth Friendly - Riverdale Neighborhood House

Celebrating Ruth Friendly
Caring for Community
Riverdale Neighborhood House
Annual Gala
October 25, 2015
“The world’s best
elementary school
teacher...”
That’s what Fred Friendly, the late
renowned journalist, called his wife
Ruth.
Though she has long since traded
elementary school in Scarsdale
for graduate school at Columbia,
she’s still asking questions so hard
the only way you can answer them
is to think.
Thank you, Ruth, for all you’ve done
for our Riverdale community and our
journalistic community.

With Gratitude
T
onight we celebrate the
143rd Anniversary of
Riverdale Neighborhood
House and pay tribute to Ruth
Friendly – teacher, friend,
mentor and leader – who
remains a vital resource in so
many facets of our community.
In addition to serving on the
Board of RNH, Ruth is on the
Board of Riverdale Senior
Services while she continues
to work as the Director of
Media and Society Seminars at
Columbia Graduate School of
Journalism.
We are so thrilled to have the
construction project behind
us as we are now planning
for the future. Already, many
new programs and services
have begun in the new space
including sports leagues, healthy
living activities and play groups
for young families. Of course,
we would not have this building
without the generous support
of our local elected officials:
Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz,
Senator Jeffrey Klein, Bronx
Borough President Ruben
Diaz Jr., and Councilmember
Andrew Cohen. In addition
we recognize the support of
former Councilmember Oliver
Koppell, as well as the offices
of Congressman Eliot Engel
for their support, advice and
constant encouragement
throughout this long-awaited
project.
The first year of full (school) day
pre-Kindergarten at RNH was
well received by our families
and over 200 selected RNH as
their first choice in the new
online enrollment system at the
Department of Education. The
expanded SONYC (Schools Out
NYC) program at IN-Tech earned
a rating of “excellent” for its
creative approach to enrichment
and we are launching another
SONYC program right here at
RNH to serve students from our
area of the Bronx.
Today, more than ever, it is
only with the support of you,
our donors, that we are able to
meet the ever-changing needs
of children, families, teens and
seniors in the northwest Bronx.
With your assistance RNH is
well-positioned to meet the
needs and challenges of the 21st
century.
Josephine Perrella,
President
Daniel Eudene,
Executive Director
We proudly honor Ruth Friendly
R
uth Friendly has been an
active board member of
Riverdale Neighborhood
House for the past 8 years. She
also serves on the Riverdale
Senior Services board, and
over the years has served on
the Riverdale Mental Health
Board and the Fieldston
Property Owners Association.
Currently Ruth is Director of
Media and Society Seminars at
Columbia Graduate School of
Journalism. In addition, she is a
Commissioner on the New York
State Commission on Judicial
Nomination, Court of Appeals.
She also serves as a panel
member for the Disciplinary
Committee of the Appellate
Division, New York Supreme
Court.
Before trading in her blackboard
for the television screen, Ruth
Friendly taught for 17 years
in the Scarsdale public school
system and worked extensively
on curriculum development for
grades K through 6. In 1981, she
left the classroom and joined
her husband Fred Friendly to
work on the Media and society
Seminar programs, serving as
researcher, editor, producer and
executive producer. Over the
years, she was an integral part of
the team that received countless
awards for many landmark
PBS series, beginning with THE
CONSTITUTION: That Delicate
Balance. She has produced over
200 non-televised programs
for civic, legal, business and
educational organizations that
Fred moderated. For 16 years,
Ruth served as Vice President
and Senior Editorial Director at
Fred Friendly Seminars named
for Fred after he retired. Ruth
has always brought meticulous
journalistic standards to the
task and a great educator’s
love of the teachable moment,
when just the right question
can probe and open minds to
the complexities of a particular
challenging issue.
Ruth has lived in Riverdale since
1968, where she and Fred raised
their six children: Andrew, John,
Michael, David, Lisa and Richard.
Riverdale Neighborhood House (RNH):
A Vital Partner In Our Community
F
or 143 years, RNH has
been an anchor institution
in the Northwest Bronx,
providing human services to
an ever-changing community.
Throughout our history, we have
worked to improve the quality
of life in the neighborhood and
to foster respect among our
diverse residents.
Today, RNH continues to keep
the community strong. We
have been instrumental in
establishing and supporting new
partner agencies. Organizations
that RNH helped found include
The Riverdale Press, Riverdale
Senior Services, and the local
branch of The New York Public
Library. More recently, it has
provided meeting space for the
Riverdale Nature Preservancy,
the Bronx Arts Ensemble,
Toastmasters and the Girl Scouts.
Additionally, RNH continues to
host a community supported
agriculture program – bringing
organically-grown produce,
meats, and other products
directly from upstate farmers
to our Bronx community. We
sponsor a Youth Market at RNH
whereby teenage interns sell
farm-fresh goods from a stand
at the agency as they learn
about business and nutrition.
RNH’s support for local children
begins well before they enter
our Teen Program. The Early
Childhood Program is one of
only two Riverdale pre-schools
accredited by the National
Association for the Education
of Young Children (NAEYC). We
are committed to helping the
community’s most needy families
through the sliding scale
supported by the scholarship
fund from our loyal donors. As
part of Mayor de Blasio’s efforts
to expand UPK, the RNH early
childhood program is a full day
UPK provider and all classrooms
are open until 6 PM to meet the
needs of working families.
The Schools Out New York City
(SONYC) at IN-Tech Academy
(MS/HS 368) is going strong,
receiving a rating of “excellent”
on our most recent evaluation.
The program offers enrichment
activities to 135 middle
school students each day. This
year we are adding another
SONYC program right here at
Neighborhood House. This new
program will provide structured
activities to middle school
students from the local area
schools.
The collaborative effort with
fellow settlement house
Kingsbridge Heights Community
Center (KHCC) has successfully
created each of our services
within the other agency.
Now, RNH has a full time
College Directions Coordinator
while KHCC has the capacity
to run internships in their
neighborhood. Combined, we
are better equipped to help
youth strive toward success.
and was referred to TRP two
months ago. During her intake
interview she was coherent,
pleasant, and cheerful. On one
of these routine calls Mrs. M was
not as cheerful as on previous
calls and it was obvious that
something was wrong. We
connected her to a social worker
and her doctor who realized she
was having breathing issues.
Since then, Mrs. M has been
seen, treated and is under the
care of a pulmonary specialist
and has 24-hour care.
We are so thrilled that the
three “hill schools” continue
to enhance services in the
RNH After-School Program.
Horace Mann and Fieldston
are focusing on academic
enrichment. And new this year,
Riverdale Country School is
adding an athletic component
with student-athletes running
sports programming under
the supervision of the Athletic
Director.
Our new building has helped
RNH expand services. We
now have sports leagues for
children, health promotion
workshops such as meditation
and Zumba. We are grateful for
the generosity of Assemblyman
Jeffrey Dinowitz, Senator Jeff
Klein, Borough President Ruben
Diaz Jr. and former Councilman
Oliver Koppell. Two new capital
grants, one from Senator Klein
and one from Assemblyman
Dinowitz, will allow RNH
to update its grounds and
facilities as the new building is
completed.
RNH’s volunteer-driven
Telephone Reassurance Program
remains a highly effective way
of helping keep frail older
adults safe and connected to
the world outside their home.
The demand for our service
continues to be at record
levels with over 100 clients. For
example, Mrs. M is 91-year-olds
The Board of Directors, staff
and participants of Riverdale
Neighborhood House are
thrilled to celebrate past
achievements and future
successes with our supporters
this evening. It is only with your
ongoing support that we will
continue to flourish.

Dear Friends:
It is with great pleasure that I extend my warmest greetings to each of you in attendance
at the Riverdale Neighborhood House Annual Benefit Dinner. Tonight is a special night as
we come together to show our appreciation for this fine organization and to honor those
exceptional individuals within our community.
Since its inception in 1872, the Riverdale Neighborhood House has grown from its
modest beginnings into a renowned institution that provides educational and community
resources to compassionately care for people of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Each year, we highlight an outstanding public servant and honoree who deserves special
recognition on behalf of their peers. Tonight, that person is Ruth Friendly, who throughout her
life has found success in a number of capacities, including teaching, producing, and community
activism. She taught in the Scarsdale public school system for an impressive seventeen years
and helped in the curriculum development process. As an active member in her community, she
serves as a board member of the Riverdale Neighborhood House and the Riverdale Senior
Services, having also served on the Fieldston Property Owners Association.
I applaud all the hard work of everyone involved with tonight’s wonderful event and I
look forward to many more years the Riverdale Neighborhood House serving our Bronx
community.
Sincerely,
Senator Jeffrey D. Klein

Independent Democratic Conference Leader

Dear Friends:
It gives me great pleasure to congratulate the Riverdale Neighborhood House and this year’s
honoree, Ruth Friendly, for the outstanding work they do in our community. Since 1872, the
Neighborhood House has been a pillar of community involvement and betterment in the
northwest Bronx, and honoring a woman such as Ruth Friendly continues that long tradition.
Ruth Friendly’s life and career can best be summed up in her tireless dedication to public service
and making people’s lives not just better, but richer. Not only has she been an active board
member of the Riverdale Neighborhood House for the past 8 years, but she also serves on the
board of Riverdale Senior Services, and over the years has served on the boards of Riverdale
Mental Health, as well as a member of the Fieldston Property Owners Association. Her
involvement in these organizations alone demonstrates her commitment to serving and bettering
her community.
Though she is currently director of Media and Society Seminars at the Columbia University
Gradaute School of Journalism, Ruth also worked for nearly two decades in Scarsdale, shaping
the lives of young children as a public school teacher, working extensively on curriculum
development for elementary school children. Her career in education demonstrates even further
her devotion to enriching people’s lives, from kindergartners to graduate students.
Ruth Friendly and the Riverdale Neighborhood House have helped better the lives of countless
Bronxites, young and old, for many years and will undoubtedly do so for many more. The
Riverdale Neighborhood House is second to none in the Bronx and I am extraordinarily fortunate
to have such a fine organization in my district. Congratulations again to your wonderful honoree
and to RNH on the occasion of your 143rd anniversary.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Dinowitz
