Hello All. Has anyone gone to the previous events? Any comments? I have not attended but plan on going to the Oct 27 event, thanks for posting it. Will provide feedback afterwards. Anyway, am tossing around the idea of starting a Bed-Stuy womens group. Something informal, for us to meet one another, plan a few monthly events, maybe make new friends. Would there be any interest in this? Im born and raised in the stuy and things have changed for sure, but its a little frustrating to walk around and have no idea who your neighbors are! We should start alleviating that lol. Let me know if this is something worth pursuing. (Also, sorry if this may be a duplicate post; my computer froze in the middle of my first attempt!)
