Grand Crossing Park
Neighborhood Network
"...What YOU can do for YOUR Neighborhood"
Dearest
Neighbors and stakeholders;
When
was the last time you celebrated the 150th year of anything? This year marks 50
years since the Selma marches and the voting rights act in 1965 and 150 years
since the tumultuous "Juneteenth" celebration of the end of slavery in Galveston
Texas, 1865.
Over the years now, Neighborhood Advocates from Avalon Park, Burnside, Chatham, East Chatham, Englewood, Grand Crossing, Park Manor, South Shore and Woodlawn have come together to picnic and fellowship (Network) in Grand Crossing Park in honor of those who toiled for unity (Umoja) freedom and self determination (Kujichagulia) and finally validated the United States constitution. Neighborhood Advocacy & unity being the ultimate aim.
If the spirit so moves you, we are open to your group, church or business joining our humble celebration. We're coordinating collective grass roots contributions of resources and arranging tables for information sharing in the style of our African, Indian, Mexican, European ancestral heritage, whom all contributed to our notion of a collaborated, grass roots, American Freedom.
Our community has an up and coming, soon to be widely known, grass roots product - "Antonio's Response", something we could possibly become famous for. Come out to the picnic and learn all about it.
Be an early bird and avoid the last minute rush. Start putting aside now for our most festive community networking event ever. Come network and be informed on;
