Dannys Big Party !!!
Hello Friends and Supporters,
We just wanted to give you a quick update on the celebration of life for our friend, leader and colleague Danny Grossman. Preparations to make this event exciting and meaningful for all are in full swing. If you are coming, don’t forget to reserve your spot at: https://www.eventbrite.com/.../dannys-big-party-tickets...
Featured at the open house will be a “Speakers Corner” where those in attendance can have a personal video message recorded. These videos will then be played back on a monitor during the event. Whether you send in a video or record one at the event, all will be added to Danny’s archives.
In other news, here’s a message from Andrea Nann about the procession preceding the open house: “Friends!! Danny's party is coming soon!! Have you picked your outfit yet? The event starts with a Festive Procession led by Big Smoke Brass band (are you feeling the vibe?)! We'll gather at Riverdale Park West at 1:45pm on the park path close to the corner of Wi******er and Sumach and at 2pm we'll SHIMMY down Wi******er St. towards 509 Dance. Dress for Danny! Pull out your scarves, feathers, hats, tight pants, miniskirts, sunglasses, ties...or maybe a zoot suit or glitz and glamour are more your style? Wear any attire that feeds your festive spirit! Yellow is a theme and if you own a pole...why not! Honestly though, everything goes (it is Pride Month after all!). Above all, let's have some fun, that's what Danny would LOVE.❤”
Lastly, we are so grateful for those who have donated towards the cost of mounting the event—it would certainly not happen without your assistance. BUT! We have not quite reached our target and could use a last push. If you haven’t yet contributed but are planning to, please visit https://www.ccdt.org/danny-grossman to donate to a special “Danny Grossman Memorial fund”. It would be so appreciated.
