Perhaps in response to this post (Why did Jon Kaiman abandon us?), Jon Kaiman came to the neighborhood on Sunday evening and pledged to use his power in congress to help the Roslyn Country Club:

Why did Jon Kaiman abandon us? (Update: Welcome Back, Kaiman)
UPDATE 8/21/2022: Comment from Jon Kaiman Sunday evening regarding the Roslyn Country Club , while he was canvassing in the neighborhood:
Until September of 2013, Jon Kaiman was leading the efforts to turn the Roslyn Country Club into a town park. Then, abruptly, he resigned to supposedly take a position with the state that needed his full time attention immediately!
Nearly 10 years later, after years of having a limited public profile, he’s running for the Democratic Party’s nomination for Congress. I reached out to his campaign to get a comment from him regarding the Roslyn Country Club, but no one responded.
Maybe he would use his power in Congress to turn the property into a park. It does have immense historic value. Or maybe, he will just abandon his congressional seat if something more appealing comes around. We simply do not know.
Below are a list of relevant articles from Jon Kaiman’s efforts for the Roslyn Country Club, but first, his washing his hands clean of it:

8/11/22 UPDATE 2: Thanks for those who came out, and especially the neighbor who stopped to chat. Be sure the check out the Sturgeon Moon and the Perseids meteor shower, visible now!
8/11/22 UPDATE 1: 8.11.22 @ ~8pm / south west corner of Club and Saddle. Let’s chat.
As the next full moon rises in four weeks time, weather permitting, we shall convene a gathering of anyone in the neighborhood that is interested in discussing ways to unite our community and reestablish the Roslyn Country Club.
It will be in the center of the neighborhood, where we shall be able to properly socially distance in a safe environment.
WE all shall have the ability to share our thoughts. If possible, we shall forge consensus on a path forward for those in union.
I encourage all to walk. The neighborhood is beautiful when not driving or staring at these screens.
Specific coordinates to be announced as the date approaches.
15-years since The Club was last opened for the neighborhood…
The Roslyn Country Club was last opened in 2007, 15 years ago…
