A.M.C. Aside: As per AnDre's real request, we are not 'allowed' to reveal the actual names of the small-minded, small-pocketed and small percentage of public officials he's met, observed and justly does not like such as... it's not easy bein' "Gang-Green", "The Glickster", "Pot-ty Head", "SchMarty" and "Giffy" -- nor the handful of nasty, 'bad seed', local kreepz such as The Poison Rat (so krayzee and so despised), Inzane Burnzy (so bizarrely outta it yet overpaid biggi bucks), Philis X. Read (loopy lyin' lozer) and Alana "Airhead" Kommack ('liar, lyar'). The S.V.A. will oblige "Our Guy" AnDre by not revealing any actual names from this "Low-Down 86 List". Deal? U bet!

At most public events, S.V.A. Assistant AnDre Christie is recognizable and appreciated for his effective distribution of S.V.A. literature and its colorful flyers. AnDre also coordinates the Youth-for-SVA for special occasions and volunteer efforts. He gladly volunteers for the political campaigns of special S.V.A. supporters such as Carolyn, Michael, Virginia, Eliot, Margarita, Andrew and Melissa. At the S.V.A. office, AnDre handles processing mail, answering phones, making calls, faxing information, e-mail replies, welcoming guests, contacting politicians, mailing SVA-pax, communicating with other organizations and groups, promoting S.V.A. advertisers, document deliveries, financial pick-ups, distributing meeting notices, bank deposits and providing 411 about the S.V.A. In June 2005, AnDre was shown (wearing a bright red designer shirt) on network television news shows driving the famous 1969 "Stonewall Car" in the 36th New York City Pride Parade. Moreover, AnDre's chief responsibilities are to assist the S.V.A. Board of Directors, the multi-tasked and consistently-busy S.V.A. Director Williamson Henderson and the widespread and diverse S.V.A. Executive Committee.

AnDre's favorite SVA-involved events are the New York City Pride Parade on Fifth Avenue with endless cheering spectators and the eye-candy 1969 "Stonewall Car" in the limelight; the New York City Stonewall Business Expo at the New York Convention Center with the 1969 "Stonewall Car" on exhibit; and the S.V.A. Stonewall Streetfair in Greenwich Village with the 1969 "Stonewall Car" on display. You'll notice the obvious common denominator. Apart from exciting events involving thee car, AnDre enjoys the private meetings with public officials as they are all so different from each other. His favorite "event" in 2005 besides the above three "Stonewall Car"-related and Gracie Mansion was not a public event but private at a corner booth of a tasty restaurant. The special occasion was a luncheon with Councilwoman Margarica Lopez and Williamson with community leader Liz Abzug, wherein AnDre was privy to learning a lot going back to the years of former Congresswoman Bella Abzug! The S.V.A.'s assistant AMC enthusiastically enjoys the monthly S.V.A. meetings, which are also quite different from each other. Opined AnDre, "The S.V.A. monthly meetings on the last Saturday are something that I always look forward to as they are always interesting, exciting, informative, enjoyable and fun thanks mainly to Williamson". On the S.V.A.'s office telephone recording, one usually hears: "Greetings, you have reached the community office of the STONEWALL Veterans' Association. Although no one is available to handle your call at the moment, you may leave a dee-tailed message. Please be sure to leave your call back phone number. The next meeting of the S.V.A. is on.......... at the Community Center in Man-hat-tan. Bless!" -- all from the inimitable voice of AnDre Christie.

AnDre Christie is proudly and happily shown with Williamson Henderson and the big District 8 winner herself at N.Y.C. Councilmember-elect Melissa Viverito's post-Election "Victory Party". It was held on Saturday night, October 1st, 2005, at La Palma Nightclub in the Upper Upper East Side. The joyous, diverse, fun-filled and colorful close-up photo was chosen as the first choice of the Viverito Victory Party by campaign webmaster Marina Ortiz. The complete collection is at: www.MelissaForCityCouncil.com/photos.htm.
Once at that website, go to the event header picture of "WAM" and click the photo to
reveal the interesting collection of over 100 pix,
including AnDre eatin' and a pic of Williamson and AnDre sitting
in booth
#1 (shown above) being
interviewed by free-lance reporter Laura Rivera about
how
Melissa met them, how it all gelled, what campaign
strategies the boys used and the
ultimately successful, closely-won Melissa Vee victory results.
Interestingly, the very first person from the S.V.A. whom
Melissa met
-- in hot July in the early evening while she was campaigning
solo at a street-level #6 subway uptown exit in front of a Dunkin' Donuts on Lexington
Avenue in East Harlem -- was AnDre!
