Roosevelt Island Resident Association ( RIRA ) Common Council member Ethel Romm recently celebrated her 90th birthday. She was serenaded with Happy Birthday by the RIRA Common Council at the March 4 RIRA meeting. For her birthday, Ms. Romm challenged the Common Council Members to make a financial donation to RIRA. Ms. Romm donated $900.
As previously reported , Ms Romm has attributed much of her longevity to an exercise routine which includes climbing 20 flights of stairs every day in her building. Happy Birthday Ethel.
