GROVE IN TOWN MEETING NYC 3/10
APCG CELEBRATES ITS 65TH BIRTHDAY
By Jeannie
Welcome!
The party was immediately festive as birthday party trappings
decorated the space at SAGE headquarters on West 27th street. It is
the Arts Project’s 65 birthday!
It was just the right amount of people for the many tables
set up
Always a happy event as old friends comes together after a
long winter’s separation.
Panzi our new president did double duty attending both the Florida and NY reunions
The theme of this year is Unity of the Community
And she listed the many parts of the Grove d from the
Doctors Fund to the Archives.
Sal announced he is retiring from managing the Ice Palace and then listed a slew of events he will still host and organize which made his
initial statement questionable.

Our homecoming Queen 2112 appeared in proper daytime attire,
Panzi wore a palazzo outfit
Jack Quinn and Curtis Strohl created a frisson of excitement
as they announced they were getting married at church the next morning handing
out invitations to everyone. The crowd sent them off singing My Fairy Lady’s
“I’m Getting Married in the Morning” as the crowd clapped
Phil once again catered and the team of volunteer servers,
after serving the long line, charmingly went table to table with trays of
desserts
Lets hear it for the chef!
AS a bunch of us crowded into the elevator someone announced
old people first – and then we looked around and all laughed. We all qualified.
Sal said he was lucky he was with 25 people that liked him.
Can’t be
long now till summer!
