Leadership committee approves June 13 Juneteenth celebration at Brady Court
Summary
Community Board 11 leadership voted May 18 to hold its fourth annual Juneteenth event on June 13 at Brady Court, directing staff to seek sponsors and use remaining council funds and local donations for the event.
The Community Board 11 Leadership Committee voted May 18 to hold its fourth annual Juneteenth event on June 13 at Brady Court. A committee member moved the measure during the leadership session; the motion was seconded, one member objected and one abstained, and members recorded that the motion passed.
Speakers said the event traditionally draws neighborhood participants and that some funding would come from remaining councilperson allocations and local donations. Committee members asked for sponsors and said they would use leftover council funds and community donations to support programming.
Committee discussion also covered logistics and a request for volunteers and sponsorships; chairs asked members to circulate potential sponsors and indicated the event planning would continue through committee and the full board. The leadership-level vote authorizes the committee to proceed with event planning; the full board will hear relevant updates in upcoming meetings.
Next steps: staff and committee chairs will solicit sponsors and finalize logistics for the June 13 event at Brady Court.
