NY/NY/PA EVENT ALERT: November 2013

By Gloria Dulan-Wilson


Hello All: 

October was a hot mess - with the shut down of the government taking center stage for the most part, it was difficult to focus on more pleasant and important things that were going on at the same time.  Hopefully that will not be the case for November and the rest of the year.

This is just a sampling of events that will be taking place in the tri-state area -  and they are in no particular priority.  You select which is more important to you.

Tuesday, November 5:  New York, New Jersey:  ELECTION DAY - GET OUT AND VOTE LIKE YOUR LIVES DEPENDED ON IT, BECAUSE THEY DO.  This is a priority date, no matter what else is going on.  We have to elect Bill DeBlasio Mayor of New York City - and as you notice, I didn't bite my tongue.  We can't vascillate, or be wishy washy about this.  
Likewise, in NEW JERSEY - Now that Cory Booker is the New Jersey State Senator, YOU HAVE TO ELECT RAS BARAKA MAYOR of  NEW JERSEY - again, I did not bite my tongue.  In terms of Governor, for New Jersey, you've seen what the Repuglycans have done to our country.  I implore you to use common sense and intelligence.  We don't need any additional problems.  Wake up and smell the sulphur.
 In fact, if there are any elections taking place anywhere in the US on NOVEMBER 5, and there is a DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE RUNNING FOR ANYTHING AT ALL - VOTE FOR HIM OR HER - We have to return the power to the people, and rid ourselves of those who have walked up and down the spines of We, ThePeople for far too long.  SO ON NOVEMBER 5, GET OUT THERE AND VOTE BECAUSE YOUR VERY LIVES DO DEPEND ON IT.


Sunday,  NOV. 3:  Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity is honoring one of my classmates and Sorors, Ms. Carol Black-Adams  at 4:00 P.M at Auletto's Catering in Deptford , N.J. Tickets are S65.00.  The proceeds ar to raise funds for the Kappa Community Development Corporation, an entity of the Burlington -Camden Alumnae Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi.  Carol is one of thirteen honorees.  Their mission is to fund and or build an academic Achievement center in Camden, N.J. For more information, or to contribute, contact Mr. Richard Williams at  --609--634--5551.

> Thursday, Oct 31 at: 10:40 AM, 1:00 PM, 3:00 PM, 7:35 PM; > Fri, Nov 1-- Sun, Nov 3: 10:45 AM, 5:45 PM;  Mon, Nov 4 at: 10:45 AM  IFC  W. 323 Sixth Ave  at West Third Street, in Greenwich Village
"AMERICAN PROMISE" a film, will be featured at IFC: "In 1999, African-American Brooklynites Brewster and Stephenson enrolled their 5-year-old son Idris in a posh Upper East Side private school. Following Idris, his best friend, and the boys’ families over twelve years, the film captures their struggles with stereotypes and identity, learning differences and their increasingly divergent paths on the road to graduation. As their sons grow into young men, the parents wrestle with their own doubts and fears in this rare and vivid portrait of middle-class African-American families. Winner, Special Jury Award, Sundance Film Festival " 

This is a plug for my Soror/friend Connie Baker, who owns SANS 'APPELLE,  one of the most glamorous women's upscale clothing stores in Philly'S world famous Cheltenham Mall - Sans 'Appelle will wow you from the moment you step inside the door.  And the prices are reasonable.  But you will have people turning their heads and asking "Where did you get that gorgeous outfit??"  Check her out - the FIRST FRIDAYS OF EVERY MONTH IS 50% OFF STOREWIDE.  With the holiday season coming up, this is a perfect time to do something good for you.  You've earned it.
