Annual Gala
October 26, 2014
PRICE
It is with pleasure and appreciation that I congratulate our
own Riverdale Neighborhood House in celebration of its
142nd anniversary.
The commitment, dedication and caring of the entire RNH
staff, and all of the volunteers that serve and support the
vital programs RNH offers for the Riverdale community and
beyond, is very special and helps to explain how it is has
become such a beloved institution.
The annual benefit would not be possible without the
effort and planning of our wonderful Benefit Committee,
our Executive Director-Dan Eudene and the constant detail
oriented work and follow-up by Nancy Alberts.
Tonight is an exceptional experience for me, as the honoree.
I want to personally thank the Board of Directors, the staff,
Halstead, my colleagues, friends and especially, my family,
for sharing this evening with me. I also want to thank our
guests, donors, public officials and all of those who have
supported our 2014 Annual Benefit.
It is truly my honor to celebrate RNH with all of you

With Gratitude
T
onight we celebrate the
142nd Anniversary of
Riverdale Neighborhood
House and pay tribute to our
dear friend and community
champion, Susan Goldy. Susan
has been a force in Riverdale
for many decades, helping
neighbors settle in to this
special corner of the Bronx. Her
influence is far and wide, taking
on key leadership roles in the
New York State Association of
Realtors, while also finding the
time to be a mentor to teens in
RNH’s Youth Internship Program.
At long last, we are pleased to
report that the construction of
the new Community and Teen
Center has reached a closing
point. Our teens will finally
have their Teen Center back
and our children will have
an indoor play space as the
weather turns colder. And soon,
the community will learn about
new services and programs that
will take place in the building.
On behalf of the RNH board
and our participants we want
to thank Assemblyman Jeffrey
Dinowitz, Senator Jeffrey
Klein, Bronx Borough President
Ruben Diaz Jr. and former
Councilmember Oliver Koppell,
for their support, advice and
constant encouragement
throughout this long-awaited
project.
We are excited to have the
opportunity to expand our
services with added funding
from the City in support of the
Mayor’s initiatives to promote
full day Universal
Pre-Kindergarten as well as
middle school programming.
Over 135 students at IN-Tech
Academy participate in a menu
of activities including STEMbased, hands-on instruction.
The UPK provides excellent
education for a full school
day, while many children from
working families remain with
us until as late as 6 PM. Not all
of the expansion is from City
funding; private dollars have
allowed the Teen Program
to extend its college access
programming with Kingsbridge
Heights Community Center
to include a full-time college
guidance staff member as well
as a retention specialist to help
students strive for college and
then complete their studies.
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.
President
Executive Director
We proudly honor Susan Goldy
S
usan Goldy established
her own Riverdale agency,
Susan E. Goldy, Inc.
specializing in the sale and
rental of residential real estate
in 1981, and as of 2011, became
the Director of the Susan
Goldy Team at Halstead
Property. Her company
earned high marks
in the Riverdale
community and
well beyond for
its integrity,
professionalism
and reliability
and,
combined
with Halstead
Property’s
resources
and support,
she thought
it made the
perfect union.
Susan’s interest
in real estate
industry issues
grew through her
involvement with
the Bronx Manhattan
North Association of Realtors,
eventually serving two terms as
its President in 1995 and 1996.
At the New York State
Association of Realtors (NYSAR),
Susan chaired many committees
which culminated in her being
elected to serve as it’s President
in 2012. Members of Congress,
State and City elected officials
often hear from Susan when
she is advocating the Realtor’s
position on potential or pending
legislation affecting consumers
and real estate practitioners.
Susan has participated on panel
discussions, held speaking
engagements, been a guest
writer for real estate
publications, and has
appeared on TV on
real estate related
matters.
Susan’s
involvement
in the growth
and vitality
of her
community
and of her
borough led
her to become
a staunch
supporter
of many
institutions in
the Bronx. She
has served on the
board of directors for
several organizations.
She has been on the
Board of Directors of Riverdale
Neighborhood House since
2006 and is currently serving as
our Treasurer.
Susan moved to Riverdale
in 1972 and raised her
children, Jason & Lauren, who
are both attorneys working in
New York City.
Riverdale Neighborhood House (RNH):
A Vital Partner In Our Community
F
or 142 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.
Originally founded as a lending
library for neighborhood
workers, RNH soon began to
provide social services to the
area’s residents. Our programs
have evolved as needs have
changed: in the early 1900’s,
RNH advocated for improved
sanitary conditions; during
World War II emergency nursing
training was offered; and
since the 1950’s, the agency
has provided early childhood
education, job training for
teens, programs for the elderly,
and activities for families.
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 Bronx Works Navigator,
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
co-sponsor two Youth Markets
in Community Board #8, one at
RNH and the other through our
partnership with Kingsbridge
Heights Community Center.
Through this exciting program,
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 now a full day UPK
provider and all classrooms are
now open until 6 PM to meet
the needs of working families.
The Out of School Time
(OST) program at the INTech Academy, now called
“COMPASS” and part of the
SONYC (School’s Out New
York City) effort supported by
the Mayor, helped over 135
middle school students reach
for academic success. With
enhanced support, the program
now has a full time Education
Specialist on our team.
Through a collaborative effort
with fellow settlement house
Kingsbridge Heights Community
Center, RNH is offering college
readiness services to the
community while bringing our
signature career development
program, the Youth Internship
Program, to youth in the
Kingsbridge community. The
program is expanding with
a fully functioning college
guidance space in the new Teen
Center.
The After-School Program
continues to offer outstanding
literacy enrichment to our
children. We are fortunate to
have the support of the three
“hill schools” in Riverdale who
all commit time and energy
working with our children.
The Fieldston Ethics Class
is committed to its Service
Learning program; Riverdale
Country School students work as
homework buddies; and Horace
Mann students run a number of
our “clubs”.
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
and the numbers served has
exploded as a result of the
changes in Medicaid; we now
have over 100 clients who rely
on us. Mrs. A is 96 years of age
and a Holocaust survivor; she is
a widow and lives with home
attendants round the clock. But
she enjoys talking with us to feel
“understood” and her openness
enables RNH to inform the social
worker of unmet needs.
The expanded Community
and Teen Center building is
finally complete and teens are
already using the space. We are
grateful for the generosity of
Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz,
Senator Jeff Klein, Borough
President Ruben Diaz Jr. and
former Councilman Oliver
Koppell. A new capital grant
from Senator Klein will allow
RNH to update its grounds as
the new building is completed.
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 a pleasure to welcome everyone to Riverdale Neighborhood House’s Annual Benefit
Gala.
RNH has been a vital part of New York’s thriving nonprofit sector for 142 years. Guided
by its core tenet to cultivate a safe space that fosters an inclusive and respectful community, it
offers early childhood, prekindergarten, afterschool, summer, teen and senior programs. Whether
making daily calls to homebound elderly to ensure their safety and wellbeing, organizing
intergenerational activities or encouraging teems to become civically engaged, RNH continues to
play a key role in uniting neighbors and uplifting families in the northwest Bronx. As my team
and I orchestrate unprecedented expansions of afterschool, prekindergarten, affordable housing
and the living wage mandate, I commend RNH’s critical contributions to building a brighter and
more equitable future for all New Yorkers.
On behalf of the City of New York, congratulations to tonight’s honoree, Susan Goldy.
Please accept my best wishes for a wonderful benefit and continued success.
Sincerely,
Bill de Blasio

Dear Friends:
I am honored to partake in the Riverdale Neighborhood House Annual Benefit Dinner and share this
momentous occasion with each of you.
The Riverdale Neighborhood House exemplifies the very best that our community has to offer. In its
142 years of service, this organization has supported residents of all ages and backgrounds throughout the
Bronx, and in doing so, has empowered our neighborhoods through its vital programs and services.
Each year, we highlight an outstanding public servant and honoree who deserves special recognition on
behalf of their peers. Tonight that person is Susan Goldy, an incredible individual who has endured success
throughout her career in the real estate industry. Yet her success is only one facet of her overall
professionalism, as she has volunteered her valuable time to advocate on behalf of consumers through her own
civic activism as well. Nowhere else is this more noticeable than during her tenure as a Board Member and
Treasurer of Riverdale Neighborhood House.
Best wishes to Susan and to each of tonight’s attendees on a memorable evening.

Dear Friends:
It gives me great pleasure to congratulate the Riverdale Neighborhood House and this year’s honoree,
Susan Goldy, 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. As a successful, wellrespected realtor, an established voice on real estate issues in New York State, and member of the
Riverdale Neighborhood House Board of Directors, Susan Goldy has also contributed in numerous ways
to the vitality of this community.
Susan Goldy, a Riverdale resident of over four decades, established her own real estate agency in
Riverdale in 1981. Her agency quickly gained a reputation in the community for excellence in the sale
and rental of residential units. Ms. Goldy also became a leader on real estate issues in New York State,
twice serving as President of the Bronx Manhattan North Association of Realtors and later as President of
the New York State Association of Realtors.
Susan Goldy is committed to giving back to her community. She currently serves on the Board of
Directors for the Riverdale Neighborhood House and has served on several other civic-minded
organizations in the Bronx. She has coordinated volunteer efforts with the New York State Association of
Realtors following the tragedies of September 11th and Hurricane Sandy. In recognition of her
considerable contributions, Ms. Goldy has been named “Woman of the Year” by the Kingsbridge
Riverdale Van Cortlandt Development Corporation and “Bronx Businesswoman of the Year” by the
Bronx Historical Society, and has received official recognition from the Bronx Borough President, the
New York State Legislature, and the New York City Council. Susan is a long-time friend, and I could not
be more pleased that she is receiving this well-deserved honor.
Susan Goldy and the Riverdale Neighborhood House have helped enrich 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
situated in my district. Congratulations again to our wonderful honoree and to RNH on the occasion of
their anniversary.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Dinowitz

“Make the right match...”
For years, that was Susan Goldy’s slogan,
but it extends far beyond her business
to the way she relates to her community.
As a tireless volunteer and board member,
Susan has been the right match for
Riverdale Neighborhood House.
As a dedicated advocate for her profession,
Susan has been the right match for local
and state realtors’ associations.
As an ethical and conscientious businesswoman,
Susan has been the right match for homebuyers
and sellers, landlords, co-op boards, architects
and contractors.
And, of course, she has been the right match for
anyone who has the privilege of calling her a friend.
Congratulations to Riverdale Neighborhood House
and Susan Goldy for this well deserved honor.
