YEAR IN REVIEW
A Look Back at 2021
The year 2021 was unique, challenging, blessed, and a bit of a blur. It's been nearly two years since the pandemic began, and it can be hard to absorb that we are already in 2022. Below, we look back at SPNA's 2021, full of our community's perseverance and triumphs.

Perhaps the snowdrop was the best representation of our community's surfacing into 2021. Despite their small stature, snowdrops persevere in the deepest frost, reminding us that we all have the ability to overcome, against all odds. Many of us were hopeful 2021 could be a better year, and even if it wasn't as good as we hoped, we knew we could survive it together.Our country welcomed a new president in 2021, and so did SPNA. Jason Money began his term as SPNA President with a promise to dedicate SPNA's work to the Stuyvesant Square community.

Last but definitely not least, December brought so many joyful moments to our park. We joined East End Temple on December 5th for a celebratory candle lighting, marking the eighth and last night of the festival of Chanukah. On December 12th, we came together again for a festive tree lighting with performances by The Kidwell Sisters. Finally, we were able to hold our annual Christmas Eve Caroling event, which was cancelled in 2020 and is cherished by our community.
