EMILY MARKS Obituary

MARKS--Emily Menlo. The board of directors and staff of United Neighborhood Houses mourn the passing of former Executive Director Emily Menlo Marks. Emily led UNH from 1998 -2002 and was a fierce advocate for New York's communities and settlement houses. With her guidance, the Emily Menlo Marks Scholarship Fund at UNH was created to support settlement house staff seeking continued education. We extend our condolences to Emily's children, grandchildren and to the entire Marks family.
