Northern Met Hits a Grand Slam at PCU Park

by Jeff Jacomowitz

All dressed in their yellow All Star hats and t-shirts, residents, staff and volunteers from Northern Metropolitan in Monsey attended yesterday's Rockland Boulders game at Palisades Credit Union Park on a sticky afternoon in Pomona. Although the Boulders were beaten 7-4 by the Quebec Capitales , the loss didn't take away the excitement by these residents who either sat in box seats or escaped the heat and humidity and enjoyed the game in the air conditioned suite.

"Outings like these are commonplace for our residents, "explains Elie Schiff, Northern Metropolitan's Administrator. "Our Recreation Director, Brenda Warsaw, and her staff design these memorable outings so on the return trip back to the facility, these residents talk and laugh showing that they had a great time."

In addition to the complimentary water, there was plenty kosher food including deep fried chicken, sweet baked potato, macaroni salad, watermelon, cookies and chips, plus soft drinks. The facility made sure the residents had a real picnic-type lunch, some ate in the suite while others preferred outside.
