A Benefit for the Brooklyn Greenway Initiative

Our friends at Brooklyn Greenway Initiative send this fundraiser notice along. They've already been able to get a section of the greenway built on Columbia Street--here's to hoping they can do the same in North Brooklyn!

Tuesday, November 18th, 8pm (doors open at 7pm)

Join supporters and friends of the Greenway for an evening of music and program shorts from some of Galapagos’ fabulous resident artists! Proceeds support the development of the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway, a 14-mile off-street bike and pedestrian route that will connect Brooklyn’s parks, neighborhoods and people. Galapagos is located midway along the planned route, so it's the perfect place for a celebration of recent milestones. Matt Wasowski, founder and Big Boss of Nerd Nite will give a 10 minute presentation about the Coney Island hot dog eating contest and the fascinating world of competitive eating. Other acts TBA. Tickets are $20 per person, or two for $30, so bring a friend! To purchase tickets go to http://www.galapagosartspace.com/events.html

Also, we're having our first raffle, so we're looking for items of every sort that you think will stir the excitement of our raffle ticket buying guests! For example: gifts you were given that don't match your (or your mate's) style that are wasting precious storage space, donated goods,services, gift certificates, meals, something from a local business you patronize, etc. All Donations will be credited on our Website and the evening of the event.
