PUSH Takes Manhattan!

From our good friends at PUSH:

Let’s Go Buffalo!

The countdown to Buffalo Takes Manhattan IV continues. Thousands of wings, Bocce’s pizza, a tailgate party with Labatts and Flying Bison, an array of Buffalo-themed prizes, and a great dance party to boot.

We know that the Bills are a better team than their record suggests. To give them the extra edge they need to win a game, we will ask Steve Mesler, Olympic Gold Medalist, to lead us in a moment of silence, during which we will focus all of our positive energy on our favorite team as they prepare to beat the Lions the following day and garner their first win.

Other reasons to be there include:

  • At 7:30 PM, right at the start of the party, we’ll screen two short films highlighting organizations, including PUSH, that are working to rebuild Buffalo’s historic neighborhoods and preserve its architectural treasures
  • Several of Buffalo’s leading artists will show work at the party.
  • A date with Steve Mesler, Buffalo’s Olympic Gold Medalist, will be auctioned off.
  • Bocce’s pizza will be in effect. What else do you need to know!

Salute to Women Veterans

A neighborhood ensemble invites you to attend a performance honoring women veterans. Marisa Robinson, of Riley Street, and the SIBYLS THEATRICAL ENSEMBLE are devoted to the representation of women in a positive light. This year we would like to invite you, your family and friends to our production of WHITE, PINK AND BLUE: A HISTORICAL LOOK AT WOMEN’S ROLES IN AMERICA’S MILITARY. This production will be honoring women’s roles by using historical documents and personal experiences. The production is a form of vignettes demonstrating the allegiance; personal determination and expressing the courage and forthrightness demonstrated by these individuals. This production gives an overview of women’s place in the fight for freedom, equality and justice to be called true American Heroes.

Bill Fitzpatrick and Table




Bill and Table

A rare picture of Bill’s front side (had to sneak up on him and capture him near a mirror).

Bill made this table, suitable for a bedroom or a large front hall, from Buffalo ReUsed Materials. He and Tracy brought it over to the ReSource the other day, where it’s on sale (all proceeds benefit our community programs) for $200.

Come on by and check it out!
