**Final Idea Generation Session Scheduled for NYC Budget at Brighton Beach Library**

New York City is preparing to allocate its $112.5 billion budget, and residents are encouraged to participate in shaping it. An Idea Generation Session is set to take place on November 18th at 3:00 PM at the Brighton Beach Public Library. This session aims to gather community input on various issues, such as affordable housing, recreational opportunities, and services for families.

Among the submitted ideas is a proposal for a senior trip program, targeting the lack of curricular activities for seniors in Brighton Beach. The initiative is titled "Senior Program Trip." The session invites residents to share their thoughts and ideas, which could influence budget decisions and funding allocations.

Participants will also receive New York City Civic Engagement Commission merchandise as a thank-you for contributing to the discussion.

Community members are encouraged to attend and make their voices heard to help improve life in New York City.
