The residents of Flushing House, an Independent Living community located in the heart of Queens, were treated to a special Chess Exhibition led by Asa Hoffmann. Mr. Hoffman is a FIDE Master in chess, as well as a chess teacher and author. He was portrayed in the movie Searching for Bobby Fischer by actor Austin Pendleton. Mr. Hoffman took on over 40 challengers from Flushing House in a thrilling exhibition of skill and endurance.

A Message From Nazima:

Centenarian Celebration

Flushing House, a 55+ community, is home to eleven Centenarians who will be recognized on Sunday, July 14^th at 2 PM. The rooftop celebration has been organized by the Flushing House Resident Council Executive Committee. It will honor their longest living residents. This is not a birthday celebration but rather a celebration of life with friends, neighbors and family.

The Centenarian Celebration will give the 300 residents of Flushing House a chance to share their secrets to a long, happy life. Refreshments and cake are served by the Flushing House Culinary Team. Approximately, only 1 in 4,500 people in the United States live to be 100. The chance to celebrate the lives of 11 people that have reached this milestone is truly a rare occasion and inspiring to be in their presence.
