SEAC’s City Bites Gala Postponed
You are Invited to a Day of Community Service September 12th
To our valued community partners,
Due to recent events that have taken place in our City, we have made the decision to postpone our Gala. The City is in turmoil, our community members are hurting, and we feel it best to take the day—September 12th, as a day of service to the communities and organizations of our city.
We want to take the time to lead and listen to our community. We will be turning the event into a “Mini Clean Sweep” and a reminder of what puts unity in the community.
Please Save the Date for September 12th, we will be meeting at Morgan’s Cereal Bar at 10:30 AM and splitting off into small groups to clean up parts of the City. Then we will end back at Morgans Cereal Bar to celebrate the East Ave
Merchants. Cheria (Happy One Year!) is a new Black women owned business slinging great brunch items on East Ave.
10% of Proceeds generated from the day will go back to the SEAC Community Fund, and 90% to Black organizations.
We hope you will join us in this day of reflection and service to our city.
We hope to hold the Gala and still move forward with our original plan in Mid- October. We hope you understand. Please feel free to reach out to us with any further questions. Thank you again for being a valuable business, partner and person to the South East Part of Rochester.
Please be safe.
