The Fordham Hill Committee on Elders celebrated its 15th anniversary on Sept. 25. Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. (pictured above with committee members Gloria Marshall, left, and Joye Clark, right) attended the event, proclaiming Sept. 25 as Fordham Hill Elders Day.
The proclamation commended the committee’s efforts to serve senior citizens in the Fordham Hill community. The committee was established in 1994 to provide a shared center for Fordham Hill’s senior community, providing many programs and recreational activities for seniors.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
