I received the following announcement regarding Roosevelt Island’s new Amalgamated Bank Branch Grand Opening Ceremonies on Thursday October 1.
Hello. Please include in your Roosevelt Islanders calendar of events the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting ceremonies at Amalgamated Banks first branch on Roosevelt Island. Located at 619 Main Street, Amalgamateds program on Thursday, October 1 will begin at 10 AM.
Special invited guests will include: R.I.O.C. President and CEO Stephen Shane, New York City Department of Finance Commissioner David M. Frankel, Manhattan Borough President Scott M. Stringer, New York State Assembly Member Micah Z. Kellner and Amalgamated Banks President and CEO Derrick D. Cephas.
Special Guest will be Principal Mandana Beckman, teachers and students as well as parents from P.S./I.S. 217. In mid October, Roosevelt Islands elementary and middle school students will take part in Amalgamateds Children and Tween Green Savings Program. The children will open savings accounts at the Bank and with help from their teachers, classmates and parents will start to get into the habit of savings money. They also gain skills about how to make choices on spending or saving their money.
Let’s hope that Amalgamated Bank succeeds unlike the previous bank branches that have opened and closed on Roosevelt Island. RIOC sends the following parking advisory regarding the event:
Please be advised there will be no parking from 591 Main Street to 625 Main Street between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. due to the Grand Opening of the Amalgamated Bank.
Your cooperation during this time is greatly appreciated.
