What is your budget for this event:
Social or cultural benefits:
This is a memorial party for a neighbor who lived at 36
Columbus ave for 85 years. A number of neighbors who
have been in the area for 25+ years are tight-knit and this
is a way to celebrate him because we were like family to
him. We are planning on inviting his remaining friends, his
family and other Columbus ave residents to mourn his loss
and celebrate his legacy as someone who brought us all
together. The plan is to grill hotdogs and have soft drinks
available.
Financial benefits:
We will probably buy all the grill meats from Minierao in
Union Square, a local small business.
