seen what a beautiful job the city did of renovating the bandshell at Jackie Robinson Park.  Now it is Marcus Garvey’s turn.  See the letter below about the announcement to be given by Mayor Bloomberg.

Dear Friend,

I am happy to tell you that Mayor Bloomberg has decided that he wants
to deliver the great news about the renovation of the Marcus Garvey
Park Bandshell himself.  As a result, the press conference, previously
planned for Saturday at the Charlie Parker Jazz Festival, has been
changed to tomorrow (Thursday, August 21st), at 10am, at the
Bandshell.

Although we realize that the notice is short, we would love for you to
come and be part of this historic and important announcement.

In addition to the Mayor, we expect to hear remarks from Parks
Commissioner Adrian Benepe, Co-founder and Secretary of the Marcus
Garvey Park Alliance Valerie Jo Bradley, and Mary Rodgers, daughter of
Richard Rodgers and Executive Board member of The Rodgers Family
Foundation.

Please feel free to share this invitation with your friends and
neighbors.  We hope to see you tomorrow.
