SUN-B, Senior Umbrella Network of Brooklyn event 11-19-09
ByI attended a wonderful event last Thursday. At the event we watched a short film titled Beautiful
Hills of Brooklyn, followed by a discussion. This terrific event was put together by Vickie Ellner,
Chair/President, Senior Umbrella Network of Brooklyn (SUN-B), www.SUNB.org and her Board Members. The meeting was
cohosted by Sephardic Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, and the accommodations were
outstanding. SUN-B is a 501c3, not for profit group consisting of "Professionals Making a
Difference for Seniors in Our Community".
I am proud to say this is my 5th year as a member of SUN-B. This is a great organization. The
resources this group gives me are unbelievable. When a client is in need, I can just say let me get
so and so on the line, he or she specializes in that area. Our seniors are thrilled at the resources
this makes available to them.
The film depicted an elderly woman named Jessie who lost her sister, Min and is living a lonely
existence. She scrimps by on social security and at one point her check is lost. She manages to
get by until it is replaced. In addition she loses her best friend and sister, Min. Jessie is a strong
women and manages to go on. Her apartment is vandalized and she feels she must move due to
her fear for her safety. The film truly captures the essence of the life of our average senior, and
the life of many of our clients. It will surely bring a tear to your eyes as it did mine.
