APNU today said that a grand victory parade and rally in honour of the victorious Coalition Government in Guyana, is set to take place on Sunday 14th June 2015 from 11:00 am in Brooklyn, New York.
It said that the organizers have said that the New York City Police Department have already approved the route of the march which begins at Bedford and Church Avenues, and will proceed East along Church Avenue to Schenectady Avenue where the grand rally will be held.
It said that the March and Rally is being organized by a group of Guyanese who came together after requests from fellow citizens in the Diaspora to have their share of showing how much they are appreciative of the change in Government, and the achievement of 49 years of Independence.
Chairperson of the group, Sharif Fraser is reported in the release as saying that she had no choice in bringing the group together after businesswoman, Doris Rodney of the Hills Restaurant broached the idea after watching the festivities that were streamed live from Guyana.
The release said that the march which begins at 11:00 am will be followed by a rally which begins at the end of the parade. The two part programme is set to feature speeches and remarks by a number of Federal, State and Local Politicians. The second phase will see Guyanese performers including Lisa Punch, Jenny Ferreira and Anthony Allene.
The committee has also extended a special invitation to Minister of State in the Ministry of the Presidency, Joseph Harmon and other Senior Government functionaries to grace the event with their presence.
The committee, the release said, has also broached the idea of a similar reduced airfare with Fly Jamaica, for supporters from Guyana who have already indicated their interest to join in the North American celebrations, as they provided for persons who travelled from New York for the Independence Anniversary Celebrations.
