Queens City Council Member Tony Avella, who is running for mayor, is one of the few New York City politicians who have given historic preservation and community-based planning more than just lip-service.You may recall that Avella fought alongside neighborhood activists in Ridgewood to save St. Savior's Church -- a battle that resulted in the wood-frame structure being re-located to another site.
With gratitude for Avella's commitment to historic preservation, I pass along the following invitation.
The Avella campaign will host a fundraiser at the Greenhouse Café, 7713 Third Avenue in Bay Ridge, on Tuesday May 12, at 7 PM.
RSVP to Steve Harrison at 718-745-1797 or at http://us.mc813.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=leegle544@aol.com.
Please feel free to pass along this information.
