SHEEPSHEAD BITES IS GOING AND SO SHOULD YOU!

St. Marks is inviting the community to its annual Family Appreciation Day this Sunday, May 22. Free food, free games, free rides, slightly-less-than-free raffles!

The annual event is a community giveback organized by the church. It’s totally secular (and last year was very diverse), and brings groups and organizations from around the neighborhood together to meet residents who stop by.

Kicking off at 1:00 p.m. on the corner of East 18th Street and Avenue Z, you can meet your community groups like the Kingsbay Y, Sean Casey Animal Rescue Center, Bay Improvement Group, Sheepshead Bay/Plumb Beach Civic Association and many others. Locally elected leaders, including Assemblyman Steven Cymbrowitz and State Senator Marty Golden, will be there.

Oh, and most important, Sheepshead Bites will be there with our own table, again giving away stickers and other goodies!

The event ends at 5:00 p.m. For information contact the St. Mark business office at (347) 274-0573.
