Oct. 15, 2019. By Shane O’Brien 

Claret Wine Bar is holding its second annual Wine and Cheese Reception Wednesday in aid of a suicide prevention charity.

The reception kicks off at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 16 at the wine bar located at 46-02 Skillman Ave. and will run until 11 p.m.

Tickets for the event cost $25 and ticket holders are entitled to two glasses of wine and finger food. The wine reception will also feature live music and raffles.

All of the proceeds from the evening will be going to Solace House, a suicide prevention center which operates two centers in New York, including one in Long Island City.

Solace House was set up in 2017 and it provides confidential, therapeutic support for those who are experiencing suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety, bereavement by suicide and also for those who engage in self-harming behaviors.

Every year, Solace House organizes a sunrise walk which begins in darkness and ends at dawn. The event is attended by thousands of people and symbolizes people suffering with depression emerging from darkness into light.

Last December brought a long-awaited victory for New York City. Our City Council adopted the historic City of Yes housing plan, paving the way for more than 80,000 new homes by 2040 with the promise of affordability. As a longtime resident of Flushing, Queens, I naturally welcomed the news – it’s a much-needed reprieve for New Yorkers as housing costs continue to soar in the midst of an unparalleled housing crisis. But entering 2025 on the heels of this win, we residents at  Murray Hill Cooperative remain at risk — our lives are virtually unchanged because we belong to the last class of unprotected “tenants” as ground lease co-op residents. Without legislative action, more than 25,000 New Yorkers face the threat of losing their homes — homes that we own — to landowners seeking to raise our ground rent to astronomical rates.
