On Wednesday June 3rd an intimate group of clergy, developers and community leaders gathered at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, for an invitation-only seminar on real estate development in the faith community. Sponsored by Benchmark Title Agency, “Building on Faith: Real Estate Development for the Faith Community”, was co-presented by Harlem Congregations for Community Improvement, Inc. (HCCI) and GoldsteinHall.
“The information shared here was invaluable,” said Derek Broomes, President and CEO of HCCI. “Houses of worship occupy some of the most valuable real estate in the City, and many of the pastors need assistance when interacting with the development community. This seminar empowered the clergy with much needed knowledge and insight”
Manhattan Borough President Gail Brewer served as guest speaker. The seminar consisted of two panels: “Development 101: From Vision to Bricks and Mortar” with guest speakers Jonathan Beuttler, Deputy Director, NYC Department of Housing Preservation & Development, Rev. Dr. Julius Clay, Pastor, Williams Institutional CME Church; Craig Livingston, Managing Partner, Exact Capital, and moderator Malcolm A. Punter, Executive Vice President of HCCI; and “Building a Team: Builder, Architect, Attorney” with guest speakers Victor Body-Lawson, Principal, Body Lawson Associates, Matthew Hall, Partner, Goldstein Hall, Erick Keller Wala, Chairperson, Brisa Builders, and Bernie Carr, Senior Vice President for Affordable Housing, Benchmark Title Agency.
Hi everyone, I joined https://vincispin.gr after reading people talk about it in a Greek forum. I didn’t think much at first, but after trying the slots, I started to see why it was mentioned. The bonus rounds made the games more engaging, and I had a streak where everything seemed to line up perfectly. That little rush of luck was enough to keep me smiling, even after a few earlier losses. It was definitely more fun than expected.
That gathering sounds really inspiring, connecting faith leaders with developers and community advocates in meaningful ways, sparking ideas and collaboration across the community. Around that time, I also tried https://plinko.fr/stake, which became a fun little escape, helping me balance the more serious side of daily life and giving a few enjoyable, lighthearted moments. It’s amazing how small breaks like that can recharge your energy and put things in perspective, even when your main focus is on important and impactful work.
Fala, tudo certo? Tô escrevendo de Maceió. Estava procurando um jogo simples, só pra dar aquela relaxada depois do expediente. Vi comentários em um fórum sobre uma plataforma que tinha um cassino bem objetivo. Entrei pelo vaidebet e dei sorte logo de cara. O jogo é animado, sem enrolação, e acabei curtindo mais do que esperava. Não fiquei milionário nem nada, mas pelo menos recuperei minhas perdas dos outros apps.
