On September 12, 2003, the Paterson YMCA, the Paterson Housing Authority, and William Paterson University sponsored an event to promote an Active Adult Fitness Program under the National Blueprint Mini grant at Joseph Masiello, Gordon Canfield and Nathan Barnert Homes.

The event featured a skit, which promoted senior health and fitness. The performers of the skit were members of the Community Health Educators and students of William Paterson University. The Tai Chi instructor Phil Frost demonstrated a few of the moves that will be incorporated into the class.

The event was attended by Mayor Jose "Joey" Torres, Larry Gutlerner and Vanessa Paynter of the Paterson YMCA, Irma Gorham, Executive Director of Paterson Housing Authority, Dr. Joslin of William Paterson University, Erma Bonds, Commissioner of the Paterson Housing Authority, Tony Perez of the Paterson Parking Authority, Dina Cuperman, Yoga Instructor, Elaine Hennion and Juana Santana of the Paterson Adult Day Center and many seniors from Joseph Masiello, Gordon Canfield and Nathan Barnert Homes.
