SING-ALONG FUND RAISER FOR PUERTO RICO


Sing-Along with Lucy and Lloyd
Saturday, February 10th, 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

"Songs of Peace & Justice: A Fundraiser for Puerto Rico" is a sing-along Mardi Gras party with Lucy Kalantari and Lloyd Miller--fixtures of the children's sing-along circuit--to raise funds for a church community in Lares, Puerto Rico.

Windsor Terrace's Church of the Holy Apostles previously supported the church in getting two cisterns so that fresh water would be available.

The suggested donation is $20.00 per family. Everyone is welcome, regardless of ability to pay.

Share music and food with your neighbors on Saturday, February 10th, from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., at Church of the Holy Apostles while giving much-needed help to the Lares church community.

Brooklyn Commune and Butterfunk Kitchen will donate what's sure to be delightfully tasty food and refreshments to the event.

Event location
The Episcopal Church of the Holy Apostles
612 Greenwood Avenue
between Prospect Avenue and E. 7th Street

across the street from Brooklyn Commune restaurant
Windsor Terrace
(718) 871-1615
