Neighborhood powerhouse Kim Maier may be one of the most important people in Park Slope. As director of The Old Stone House, she’s responsible for turning that small museum into a hotbed of  cultural and educational events. Her Summer Arts Festival, about to begin its second season, brings movies, Shakespeare and blues to JJ Byrne Park.

Kim’s a mover and a shaker all right. An active PTA member at MS 51 and PS 321 (at one time) she knows everybody and is a great connector of people and ideas.

Know Kim. Know Park Slope.

Now Kim is teaming up with Mindy Goldstein, another neigborhood powerhouse, people connector and advocate for special needs children, to host a BBQ for city councilmember, Bill DiBlasio. There is no minimum contribution to attend, but attendees are asked to bring their check books and use them. They sent this email this morning…
