MONDAY, APRIL 05, 2010

Yvonne Floyd-Mayers, a staff attorney in the Immigration Law Unit, will be a special guest of the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation on Friday during the ribbon cutting ceremony for Macombs Dam Park.

The seven-acre park features the Joseph Yancey Track, a competition level track, named in honor of Yvonne's maternal grandfather, who was an Olympic track coach and started one of the first fully integrated track clubs in New York City-- the New York Pioneers, who trained in the old Macombs Dam Park.
