Build Our Bank 2: The Village Benefit

On Thursday, April 15th at 7pm, the Village and title sponsor Character Salon will be hosting our second annual Build Our Bank benefits at Café Paradiso (199 Bank). This signature gala event is a super fun way to come out and show your support as a leading member of our community—and to help us "build our bank" so we can purchase flags, flagpoles, signs, labels, murals, public art and other signage to help make Bank Street a more visibly GLBT-friendly Village. Dress to impress and join us on the 15th.
