Unofficial joint SOS Crown Heights - Brooklynian Happy Hour: Feb 27

See you there?

Cool. I'll try to make it, work permitting. Catfish is great.

I'll be there! You can RSVP here: https://www.facebook.com/events/424103811026454/426542144115954

I am pleased to announce that the SOS Crown Heights catchment area has now gone 50 days without a shooting.



This success is likely due to a combination of the hard work of SOS, the cold weather and other factors, but I can't say I really care.

I'm just glad that the violence has abetted, and hope the trend continues.

See you next week.

@whynot_31 this is a great cause. Any other Brooklynians attending?

I'll be there!

Lots of people have RSVP'd.

All of whom are good looking.

Version II of flyer:

will be there

Despite attendees being upside down, my sense is that this event was a success.

A good % of the people in attendance were there to support SOS Crown Heights, as opposed to already being present at Catfish on a Thursday night.

It wouldn't surprise me if Catfish ended up donating a few thousand dollars as a result of this event.

For example, if 100 people spent $25 each, SOS netted $2500.     

In addition to SOS literature, attendees received snazzy Brooklynian.com business cards.  

   

Looks like you had them dancing on the ceiling. To quote the great Lionel Ritchie.

These photos were taken before we did the ceiling thing.    Attendees appear to be having a good time:

BTW, the catchment area just reached 60 days.

The results are in. About 1800 results....

This happy hour was part of a larger campaign to raise money for the organization:

We just passed 2,000! Check out the video here to hear Tamia's story and donate to a great cause!
