From Yvette Rennie, I encourage each and every one of you to attend your Community Board Meetings – At these meetings you can express your selves – challenge the decisions that are being made in your community which have direct effects on our Carnival such as; your Pan Yards, Mascamps and fundraisers.
I am also calling on you to join these 3 organizations;
J’Ouvert City International, United States Steelband Association and West Indian American Day Carnival Association
- in the fight to prevent the RE-ZONING of Empire Blvd which will interrupt our J’Ouvert celebration
- and to have an INPUT in the rebuilding of the Armory on Bedford Avenue.
