Rally in Support of a Supermarket in Windsor Terrace
Thursday, June 28th, 7:00 p.m.

Faced for the first time in decades with the possibility of not having a supermarket in Windsor Terrace, residents will be holding a rally outside the just-closed Key Food to express their wish that another supermarket open there--and their disappointment that the next occupant of that building will be Walgreens.

At the rally, the neighborhood's elected representatives and community leaders will report on information gleaned from a discussion they will hold with Walgreens prior to the rally. They are Assemblymember Jim Brennan, Borough President Marty Markowitz, City, Councilmember Brad Lander, U.S. Rep. Yvette Clarke, State Senators Eric Adams and Kevin Parker, and Community Board 7.

On a related note, a canned food drive is being held to benefit senior citizens in Windsor Terrace. Bring as many cans of food with you as you can spare. The drive was organized by Community Board 7.

Anyone who is able to hand out fliers notifying neighbors about this upcoming event should contact Ryan Lynch. Anyone wanting additional information should also contact him.
