VIDEO: Markowitz and Recchia unveil new fitness center at Lincoln High School
Seven years ago, Lincoln’s Athletic Director Renan Ebeid set out on a mission to overhaul the Coney Island school’s sports program. She couldn’t do that without the proper facilities though so she put in a call to local councilman Domenic Recchia.
“Every single month for seven years I hounded him,” Ebeid recalled. “I made sure he never forgot who I was and the worst thing he did was give me his cell phone number.”
