Letter to editor: Margaret Chin does not represent Downtown
March 19, 2014- By Battery Park Dad

Exclusive: Bob Townley’s Manhattan Youth investigated by State Attorney General
March 7, 2014- By Steven E. Greer
Bob Townley is the founder and operator of the Manhattan Youth Recreation and Resources Inc, a 501c New York State regulated non-profit. It operates the community center on 120 Warren Street as well as the after school child programs for most of the public schools Downtown (PS’s 276, 89, 150, 397, 343).
In addition, Mr. Townley personally owns a small hotel in Upstate New York called the Belleayre Lodge & Cabins, to which Mr. Townley sends kids from his Manhattan Youth to summer camp. That facility is a for-profit entity, not a non-profit 501c.
