The February Committee Meetings of Manhattan Community Board 4 (CB4) | To attend a full board meeting of Manhattan Community Board 4 (CB4) is to burrow into the marrow of community concerns such as affordable housing, public parks projects, landmarking efforts, and liquor license renewals. But before the full board sinks their choppers into such meaty matters, CB4’s eight individual committees are the first stop in the process. The letters they generate—submitted for a vote when the full board meets on the first Wednesday of the month—articulate CB4’s approval, disapproval, or recommended actions regarding a particular topic. The public is invited to attend, and speak up, at these monthly committee meetings.

The World is Coming to a Start: A Benefit Concert for the Ali Forney Center presented by Chelsea Community Church / Sunday, February 12 at 6pm | Aligned with the mission and inclusive mindset of non-denominational, lay-led Chelsea Community Church, the Ali Forney Center works to protect homeless lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youths from the harms of homelessness and empower them. This evening of live performances from dynamic artists, presented by Chelsea Community Church for the benefit of the Ali Forney Center, is hosted by Cameron Mitchell Bell and features D. C. Anderson, Aaron Lee Battle, Gabrielle Elisabeth, Monique Morgan, and Kwame Michael Remy, with music director Jeff Cubeta. Click here to purchase tickets and see the below flyer for further details.
