Plan on lending a hand in some way even if other commitments prevent you from arriving on time. Media WILL be welcome **by appointment only**, and journalists will be required to respect the wishes of those who do not want to be photographed. RSVP (at least a day ahead) for yourself and any guests on Meetup or to Janet at (347) 724-6954 to get the location.
