The Block Association Remembers Cynthia Doty Cynthia Doty
We mourn the loss of Block Association chair Cynthia Doty on July 17, 2023.
She was a neighborhood anchor, looking out for those with less of a voice, adamant about building and sustaining community, and insisting on the importance of civil discourse. Among her last public activities was helping the New York Peace Institute organize a mediation for those in disagreement about the Open Streets issue. This effort remains a poignant testament to her lifelong commitment to community affairs. We remember Cynthia's dedicated service and miss her leadership, patience, sense of humor, and commitment to her neighbors. |
