“Stonewall Streetfair / NYC”
sponsored by the New York City non-profit
G.L.B.T.S. organization....
STONEWALL
Rebellion Veterans Association
Commemorating the SVA's 19th annual NYC Streetfair in 2022!
|
Stonewall Streetfair Background: In 2003,
the
STONEWALL
Veterans' Association ("S.V.A.") finally, at long last, applied for a
New York City permit to have
a streetfair! Meanwhile, Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender
("GLBT") political clubs like GLID and
SDC have been having these streetfairs, which, unlike the S.V.A., are
strictly self-serving. They rake in thousands of
dollars for each political group year after year after year -- and
selfishly never donate a dollar to the
S.V.A. or even pay a $19.69 membership! With the S.V.A.
application
completed and delivered, Community Board #2
("C.B. #2") said "yes" -- and then the City said "no"! After
former S.V.A.
President Jeremiah Newton
testified at a hearing before the latter, the "City Hearing Tribunal"
said "no".
S.V.A. Executive Director Willson L. Henderson
said this this is never -- never! -- going to happen ever
again! And, it didn't! In 2004, C.B. #2
ridiculously,
stupidly, insultingly and shamefully said "no" to the local S.V.A.
and, actually and foolishly, put it in
writing. Shame on them! Willson said "yes". When
you think "Greenwich Village", one of the themes that you should think
is the "Stonewall" rebellion,
the "Stonewall" club, the "Stonewall" this and the Stonewall" that.
Willson
said "YES". Right on to him! And, Willson also beat
the war drums once he was informed that the imbecilic C.B.
rendering was
signed
in blood by the likes of an ingrate looney Gay goil who is allegedly a
Stonewall vet! Further, the
Gay C.B.
Chair Jim Somethingorother falsely stated that there's "...nothing
he can do!" and "no!" Can you imagine? Willson
relayed to him: "U are a liar!" and "YES!" The
Streetfair Permit Office said "no". Willson said "YES".
The
Community Assistance Unit said "no". Willson said "YES".
The
related Office of the Mayor said "yes" to
a "hearing". That was the first break-through. However,
Willson surprisingly and challengingly said "NO"! A "hearing"
for
what, Willson queried? "They all are 100% wrong and the S.V.A.
is 100% right!" S.V.A.
is not a "new" applicant, as explained above. This is not, e.g.,
a "new" streetfair
as wrongly stated. The S.V.A. is, in fact, head-quartered in
Greenwich Village. Our
loyal Stonewall Newzletta
readers can all appreciate the aforementioned "readings" and
can readily tally all of the above. The ultimate decision is
in: Come
to the S.V.A.'s "Street
Fair", our friends!
The S.V.A. specifically thanks N.Y.C. Mayor Michael Bloomberg,
who
we had the honor of being in his company -- and vice versa -- three
times during
Gay Pride Month. Was he informed of this scenario? Is the
Pope a Catholic? The S.V.A. also wishes to thank all of the other
concerned public
officials who were on standby if needed to assist the non-profit, civil
rights and historical S.V.A.
Obviously, that
excludes the exclusionary and uphonious "Gay Taliban" -- who could care
less!
2004
Due to the mindless delays caused
by Community Board #2's stonewalling of the STONEWALL
Veterans' Association's streetfair plans, the date must be
victoriously rescheduled. The SVA's "Stonewall
Streetfair" in 2004 will not be on the original
planned date of July 31st due to the subsequent time restraint for
vendor booking and group
planning. An alternate date months later sometime in autumn's
October was
offered to the S.V.A.
Williamson rightly reacted: "Fuhgedaboudit!" The
revised
date will now only be one week later on Saturday, August 7th. And
the location
has been confirmed to be -- where else -- in Greenwich Village!
That's
where the S.V.A. started on Christopher Street and that's where
our base remains. Our
history is in Greenwich Village, our office is in The Village, our
phones, etc.,
etc. More S.V.A. officers
live in Greenwich Village than in any other community. The
"Stonewall
Car" is
registered and garaged in Greenwich Village. It's Greenwich
Village especially that
benefits financially, especially every June -- and throughout the year
-- by
millions of dollars, as a result of the influx of business and the
worldwide
tourists since the historic 1969 Stonewall Rebellion. Who would
think that anyone would
think of an S.V.A.-sponsored streetfair anywhere but in The Village?
Butt someone(s)
did! The C.B. #2 manager ludicrously told S.V.A.'s Jeremiah
Newton and Bert Coffman
in person (after they made a surprise visit to the C.B. office) that
the STONEWALL
Veterans' Association is really not based in Greenwich Village!?
Right! Hunh? And Big
Ben is really not located in London! S.V.A. President Williamson
called Gay him
and asked, then where is the S.V.A. based? Chinatown?
Perhaps the
Stonewall Vets from the Stonewall Club of Stonewall Rebellion fame on
Stonewall
Place at
the Stonewall Historic Site should have our streetfair on Rikers Island?

Early streetfair set-up scene on Saturday morning, August
7, 2004 on Greenwich Avenue in the heart of Greenwich Village, New
York. Back
in the Stonewall Era, this street was widely known as "Avenue of the
Queens".
Pictured (l-2-r) are: Williamson Henderson, S.V.A.
President, and
Robert Ashe, Clearview Festival Productions on-site manager.
Peeking out
in the middle is Steven Gradman, Vice-President of PRIDE Democrats and
friend
of the S.V.A. From this picture you cannot see the actual
streetfair as that is actually on Greenwich Avenue for a five-block
stretch. In
the background at a school playground is the special auxillary "Flea
Market". By the way,
in the above photo, Willson is sticking out his tongue at who?
Who else? AnDre!
(If U heard what the latter said to the former, we're surprised
that WLH didn't stick out more than his tongue! Ain't we got fun!)
The
S.V.A. had double tables and eight quality chairs set up.
S.V.A. literature provided 411 on the organization
spanning 35 years! Besides S.V.A. coordinator Willson Henderson, other
Stonewall Vetz who arrived to help man the tables or just visit
included: Jeremiah
Jay Newton, King Storme DeLarverie, Biggi Berti Coffman,
Principal Bill
Salzman, Hurricane Dave West, Leigh McManus, Henry Koutoulas
and Ramon "Rona" Bellido as well as
the SVA's Community Liaison Bill Murawski and Friend-of-SVA Mikel
Phipps. Special guest to visit us was Clearview Festival
Productions owner Todd Berman with his two dogs. The
most visible political clubs were PRIDE Democrats of NYC and the Village Independent Democrats
with their brochures, flyers and voter registration forms on
display. William
Stricklin, Jane Sullivan, Tony Hoffman and Lee Enken, among others,
were present or stopped by from Village Independent Democrats ("VID"). AnDre Christie, the S.V.A.
Assistant, dutifully and happily distributed
over 1,000 lavender S.V.A meeting notices with the S.V.A. support
and ad form on the flyer reverse.
Besides helping the non-profit S.V.A. organization with this fund-raising
mechanism to outreach to the local community, the city and the
state -- which also gladly benfits the City of New York -- we all
had a lot of great talks and fun. And, just wait til next year!
Our "Stonewall
Streetfair" will happen regardless of what witch tries what trick.
It's just that simple -- and fair (pun intended)!

2005
The "Stonewall Veterans Streetfair" will be a post-Summer event
this year mainly due to scheduling (we were holding out
appropriateness and hope for June). Despite some haters at
the local Community Board, it will happen -- that's the
important
reality. Once again, the disrespectful and
shameful Community Board #2 foolishly signed a paper
"denying their approval" of a STONEWALL Veterans' Association
streetfair. The current head of that community board,
Jim Smith, you can't get any plainer than that
and, in this case, even though he's unfortunately Gay, any more
boring as
he is, must go!
Watch what happens....
Stonewall Veterans Streetfair: Saturday, October 8th,
2005
The S.V.A. "Stonewall Veterans Streetfair" shall once again take place
on Gay old Greenwich Avenue
from Seventh Avenue passing Perry Street and Charles Street and
crossing West 10th Street and Christopher Street going up to Avenue of
the Americas. It's an exciting and historic five-block stretch.
Any G.L.B.T. non-profit-organizations or political clubs (Gay or
not) that want free table space to display your group's
signage and information and distribute literature, please telephone
S.V.A. Assistant AnDre Christie to make the
arrangements at: (212) 6-27-1969.

STONEWALL Veterans'
Association Streetfair:
Saturday, September 16, 2006
from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Greenwich Avenue
Greenwich Village, New York
The "Stonewall Veterans Streetfair" -- sponsored by the legendary STONEWALL Rebellion Veterans Assoiation -- has its familiar, three-year,
consecutive location on Gay Greenwich Avenue in the heart of Gay
Greenich Village. The S.V.A. will have tables and chairs set-up
to welcome visitors and provide information. The SVA's director Willson L. Henderson
will be the field director on today's outinng. AnDre M. Christie
will be distributing the next S.V.A. meeting notice backed with the
S.V.A. membership and support form. WLH + AMC = Fun! PRIDE
Democrats of NYC will be joining us again with their table manned
by Steven L. Gradman and Michael Livote to distribute campaign
literature on behalf of Eliot L. Spitzer for N.Y.S. Governor
and Andrew M. Cuomo for N.Y.S. Attorney General in the general
election. Rob Ashe will be providing any and all location
accommodations and technical assistance. The president of
Clearview Productions, Todd Berman, will be personally joining the
S.V.A. display later in the day. After the streetfair, Todd has
gayly invited Williamson, AnDre and Rob to an outdoor Brokeback
Mountain dinner on Hudson Street at the
Cowboy Restaurant. Yee-haw!
2007
SVA's Stonewall Streetfair 2007
The "Stonewall Veterans Streetfair" is confirmed by the S.V.A., endorsed
(and signed) by the Community Board #2, approved (and signed)
by the N.Y.C. Community Assistance Unit and has been scheduled
(contract
is signed) by Clearview Festival Productions. The S.V.A. has,
however, made application for "a change of venue" yet within
Greenwich Village for this year. The requested space on
Washington Street has been
abandoned by Heritage of Pride ("HOP"), another G.L.B.T.
organization.
Thus, it is not a "new"
streetfair. It has been existing. It would be the same
blocks. The SVA's request has
been
rightly and nicely approved by Community Board 2 -- under new
and better management
the last year or so. The S.V.A. is awaiting
re-evaluated results of that reasonable request from New York
City's Community Assistance Unit ("CAU"). The
result is in: Because the City wants HOP to stay at that location
and not move their streetfair to Gay Boulevard (Eighth Avenue) in
Chelsea, the City
is not giving said location to anyone else -- not even the
S.V.A., the people who ignited the Gay Rights movement in that very
Greenwich Village. Thus, the City loses money, the
S.V.A. loses money, HOP loses money, the vendors lose money, the
businesses lose money, many
workers lose money, everyone loses money!!! Who is
the imbecile who is responsible for this wrong decision?!

On Thursday, December 10, 2009, Manhattan Community Board #2's
Street Activity Committee, after S.V.A. presentation and Willson
L. Henderson testimony plus AnDre Christie documents (IRS, NYS, NYC,
etc.), unanimously approved the annual S.V.A. "Stonewall
Veterans Streetfair" at the same location with the same blocks on
Greenwich Avenue in
Greenwich Village at the same times.
*
Saturday,
September 25th
Note: The S.V.A. has
requested an earlier date, as we had years ago.
Stonewall veterans should not have an
outdoor streetfair in Autumn,
which understandably prohibits many
of the SW-Vetz from attending,
especially those vets with physical diasabilities or medical
conditions
that are adversely affected by the changing, chilly and/or windy
weather.
There is also a reason why there is a SW song entitled
"September Rain"!
2011
======Stonewall Streetfair=======
The Street Activity Committee of
NYC Community Board #2 ("CB-2") in Manhattan held their streetfair
hearings on March
3, 2011. The STONEWALL Veterans' Association's annual streetfair
was submitted, testified and approved unanimously that same
evening! On March 24th, likewise,
the General Community Board #2 at their public meeting
impressively
and unanimously voted in favor of the S.V.A. streetfair. Separate
from the CB-2, the S.V.A. has a
request of the event producer Clearview Festivals to move the
"Stonewall Streetfair" back
to
Summer not early Autumn! Although we loved movie Gay icon Joan
Crawford, our song is not her film's "Autumn Leaves" theme.

No more "Autumn Leaves" streetfairs for the
legendary S.V.A. STONEWALL Veterans' Association

Special thanks to the Mayor of the City of New York
~~~ Michael R. Bloomberg ~~~
for continuing to understand and support N.Y.C. streetfairs
which are good for the community and great for the economy!!
2013
S.V.A. 10th Annual Greenwich Village Streetfair
Sunday, May 19th, 2013
Background for 2013 a.k.a. Shame on
Manhattan Community Bored #2:
This year, due simultaneously to a wintry blizzard and, thus, the
SVA's auxillary office move having to be rescheduled in between
point "A" and "B" and necessarily held over three days by the
moving company, Calypso Movers, which could not insurance-wise
drive a huge truck through a snowstorm -- with the valuable and
cherished property of the S.V.A. in their truck -- the miserable
and rude Manhattan Community Board #2 (C/B-2) Street Activities
Committee ludicrously refused, when requested by Joe Giovanni, to
reschedule our annual 'hearing'. Instead, they mindlessly and
meanly voted against the legendary, education-driven, non-profit
S.V.A. (in our absence) from having a streetfair. Yet they gave
their rubber stamp of approval to endless groups who are no where
near the community-mindedness and deeds of the S.V.A. They 4got
that in the 1969 Stonewall Rebellion, we won against the armed
NYCPD! Thus, a few local lying cowards like Maury Schnott and
Ma-rhea Pastanante are no match for the S.V.A. Shamefully, one
of the haterz who foolishly voted against the S.V.A. is a staffer
at the Gay Center; let's call him "Roberta"! The S.V.A. has been
bringing the center information, luminaries, funding and cash for
30+ years!
As a respected and qualified prior chairman of C/B-2's Street
Activity Committee stated in writing: "Our opinion is that there
are too many NYC streetfairs and we are attempting to ensure
that no streetfairs take place in our district that benefit illegitimate
organizations that do not provide a benefit to our community
or some other public good. I am in no way inferring that
the
SVA is one of these such groups but we must ask the questions and,
yes, as you pointed out, they must be fair-minded and relevant.
I think you and your colleagues have answered them this evening.
I am satisfied with them and their intelligent and detailed answers.
We also received letters and calls from public officials attesting
to the longevity and worthiness of the STONEWALL
Association."
In 2013, Community Bored #2, not to be undone by their hate and
lies the prior year, escalated their mindless
vendetta (and against
who, indigent S/W-Vetz) went on to unnecessarily and
ignorantly
make more inaccurate and false comments in writing in their
wrong-headed decision. Some of that shall be dealt with in a
different venue. But to say and sign that the S.V.A.
is a "one man
band" is stupid besides false. C/B-2 members have seen the
S.V.A.
website, some for many years. And, if any of them did
not, they
should have. The site had over 5 million 'verified'
visits last year!
Nonetheless, the S.V.A. ultimately and justly won after the due
diligence and fatual familiarity via the New York City
Mayor and
his professional and intellectually-honest Street Activities Permit
Office ("SAPO"). The SAPO acts upon facts and fairness not
fiction and hate. Proceeds from the S.V.A. streetfair are
always
needed for SVA's educational programs and for community out-
reach for our promotions for "Stonewall 44" in Gay Pride Month.
The bottom line: the S.V.A. 10th annual streetfair is tomorrow!!
The
10th yearly "Stonewall Streefair" sponsored by the S.V.A.
STONEWALL Veterans' Association is Sunday, May 19th, 2013.
The 5-block event is produced by the generous Mardi Gras Festivals.
Please stop by the
SW-Streetfair if you are a "Friend of SVA" or a
supporter. If you are a SW-Vet or an S.V.A. member, contact
us
by Saturday if you would volunteer and help 'people' our
display
tables to provide 411 and hand out our flyers for "SVA's 40th
Conference & Reunion" next month on Saturday, June 29th.
Even if you availed yourself for an hour or so, it would be helpful
to S.V.A. Remember, most surviving S/W-Vetz now live out of
NYC and many others are disabled. It's shamefully
disrespectful
and false for any members of a local community board to pretend
that they don't exist!
Stonewall Streetfair: "Same time, same place" {like the
name of the movie}
Greenwich Avenue from Seventh Avenue South crossing Perry Street,
Charles Street, West 10th Street and Christopher Sreet to Avenue
of the Americas in Greenwich Village where the circumstances created
the S.V.A. which was founded two weeks after the historic
Stonewall Rebellion!
2014
STONEWALL V.A. 11th Annual
Streetfair
Saturday, May 10, 2014
Location: Greenwich
Avenue, Greenwich Village, NYC
Soon, the S.V.A. will be providing factual reports of this year's
discriminatory process
and inherent insults and disgrace to the G.L.B.T. community particularly
the disgracing
of all of the S.V.A. veterans who we've lost over the years,
mainly due to AIDS,
only to have their lives and works desecrated and marginalized by
the likes of ill-fit haters
and liars like Maury the Schnott and William the Mahr-ed,
shameful,
truth-deprived Gays!
They both lied again and falsely stated that "there is no 'evidence' of
the SVA's programs"!?
Really? The colleges and high schools that we speak at find our
programs and praise them!
Millions find plenty of educational information on
SVA's website every year!
It is internationally
known what the S.V.A. does daily, particularly with Gay history
education
and G.L.B.T. rights!
The S.V.A. has over two thousand dollars in cancelled checks paid yearly
to
the NYC Gay
Centre just from the last year or so yet 'Roberta Worthless' (of the Gay Center
and now C/B-2)
wilfully lies that she
has no idea where the money goes? Why don't the
slanderers ask the political
clubs that people really wonder where it goes?! Problem is not money but the
lack thereof for the
S.V.A.!
In hypocritical contrast, C/B-2 voted 40 to 1 in favor of the S.V.A.
streetfair
just a few years ago.
The S.V.A. did not change except get bigger, more important and do
more. Somebody is
spreading rumors, lies and hate and Maury Shnott is foolish enough
to
sign his name to it.
Both have inappropriately abused their ethical
responsibilities of NYC community boards.
Hopefully, the new and improved Manhattan Borough
President Gale A. Brewer, an
honorable and wise person, will rid the fresh community garden
of the
poisonous fruit!!
Since they pretend to be interested (not) let's count (and we
will) how many Manhattan
community bored #2 members attend the "SVA's 45th
"Conference" on Sat., June 21st!
Where? In Greenwich Village, of course, at the New York GLBT
Community Center!
Most recent annual S.V.A. Streetfair: Saturday, May 10, 2014
What a successful streetfair and unique and so helpful to the City
and the non-profit S.V.A.!
Oddly, though expectedly, no one from Community Bored #2 showed up
with any question.
To quote the U.S. President: "From Seneca Falls to Selma to Stonewall"!
Advisory!
If you are new in town or just an unhappy liar on Community Bored #2 or
one of
their willing victims who was duped into slandering an outstanding
organization,
here's some of what the STONEWALL
Veterans' Association does:
www.STONEWALLvets.org/Mission_Purposes_Goals.htm
Let's get the answers from the rubber-stamped groups that C/B-2 pushes
through year after year without any documentation or any questions!
2015
The SVA's annual streetfair has been confirmed by the
Office of the Mayor of the City of New York -- not by the lunacies and
lies of the local Manhattan Commmunity Bored of haters! It' sone
thiong to lie but to be so stupoid aboiut it referreing to the S.V.A.
as a "One Man Band" when the S.V.A. super transparently publicly lists
about twenty-five board members and executive committee members
and staff with phone numbers and or email addresses including on this
website!
The S.V.A. had the C/B-2 Streetfair Activity Committee meeting and this
year it was professionally, intelligently and pleasantly with a mostly
(6 of 8)
unchanged committee membership but without the 'gotcha by twisting the
facts' operandis. The new committee
chairperson was an improvement.
Nonetheless, the ad hoc committee is comprised of haters, liars and, at
least, one who is the victim of poisonous peer pressure. What can you
expect from such a group? This committee has not been investigated as
yet by the slow-moving Manhattan Borough President's
office nor the
current careless Community Board president. Let's see what
happens.....

STONEWALL Veterans' Association Non-Profit Organization
New York State Charities Bureau Renewal!
=Update=
We saw! The legendary and non-profit STONEWALL Veterans' Association saw
it in writing! Duh! It was co-signed by Maria Pastanante Derr, a local
political loser and vengeful 'fabiscina', and Tobi Bergman, whoever she is!
The Manhattan Community Board #2 (appropriate
#) intentionally lied again! They falsely --
and signed it (stupid move) -- lied that the S.V.A. was a "One-Man
Band". Stupid, easily-proven, imbecilic lie! Didn't they
describe Jesus that way as a "One Man Band" even so he had 12
disciples and thousands of followers? Well, the same
description goes here! Let's henceforth refer to the SVA's
elected leader Willson Henderson as "Gay Jesus"! A chief difference is
that the
S.V.A. has over ten million verified visits to its popular website
and thousands of subscribers besides hundreds of supporters and let's
not forget the satisfied paid advertisers! The C/B-2 liars did not
stop with their 'one-man band' song. They slandered and libeled
further falsely stating that "only that person benefits from it".
Truth-be-told: There is only one person who unequivocably does not benefit from it... Willson Lee Henderson! It personally costs him in time, energy and money! Let's see what the Civil Court of the City of New York
decides? No, only that person does NOT benefit from the S.V.A. in any way
That incredible and giving person works for free! Derr!
It's also a knowing lie as over the past few years, several
officials have spoken publicly with the facts at the C/B-2 open monthly
meetings at a
microphone. It is a matter of record. They know this yet
they lie anyway. They are liars! It can and will easily be
proven.
We'll do it any time, any place! Liars about community,
particularly non-profit, organizations
and persons who appear before the community board do not belong on the
community board. They are ill fit. To say the least, they
are abusing their trusted position. They cannot be trusted.
To say that such liars are "arbitrary and capricious" is an
understatement. The lying and the slander and the defamation and
the libel are going to stop one way or the other! Again, they are
boldfaced liars! The positive news is that the governor, the
mayor, the public advocate, the borough
president, congressmembers, state senators, state assemblymembers,
city councilmembers, state committeepersons, district leaders, et
al. -- except The Phat Man -- know this reality!
Actually, he knows too but, as a C/B-2 enabler, doesn't
acknowledge. Year after year, the C/B-2's
manipulated 'advisory' is not yielded. Yet, they continue
the charade, the slander and the lies! Except with Manhattan
C/B-2, when you play a game and lose... you lose! Changes at
the C/B-2 Activity Committee (aka Haters-R-Us) must be made
immediately! If it is not corrected from within C/B-2, it will be
righted from without such as by a court! That's a promise carved
in stone-wall!
One of our S/W-vet members suggested that the S.V.A. cancel
all of our community-minded and educational speaking
engagements at high schools and colleges. SVA's Leigh McManus answered: "No,
that would deprive the students, not the depraved ones". The
~only~ reason that the S.V.A.
as a group and Willson Henderson
as an
individual has not taken legal action against the destructive and
foolish
offenders at C/B-2 is that we were, in person, recently requested
by a prominent, concerned and honorable New York City public
official
to "hold-off for now to see that everything isn't resolved without
legal action".
Agreeable S.V.A. agreed -- for now!

veterans didn't take the physical attacks and
the lies from the cops -- who had billy sticks, handcuffs and guns
-- in mid-1969, we're not gonna take the verbal attacks and
lies from some local wannabes who have venemous tongues and poison
pens and seemingly lacking any real
lives of their own! "Stonewall"
has
become synonymous worldwide as 'fight back'!
-------------
=Resolvement=
Manhattan Community Board #2 should rescind the
totally shameful and intended-to-harm false decision,
apologize publicly at a C/B-2 meeting and in writing (or they're
likely to deny it next year) and make
amends -- with the promise not to repeat the slanderous sham and other
offenses!

"Who's the Liar, Anyway"?
In her, once again, losing NYC campaign (13%), Maria Pastanante Derr falsely
claimed the 'endorsement' of not one but three SVA-supporter
groups -- Midtown Democratic Club,
the NYC League of Humane Voters and
PRIDE Democrats
of New York City -- now
that's a losing strategy and stupid as it is easily disproved:

During this campaign, according to The Villager
newspaper, Maria Derr was known as "the angry candidate" and after the
election, "the bitter loser"!

2017 -- 14th Annual STONEWALL Veterans Streetfair
The STONEWALL Veterans' Association
("S.V.A.") had
a streetfair activity hearing with Manhattan Community Board #2
(C/B-2)'s 'Quality of Life'
Committee (f/k/a Street Activity Committee) on Monday, March 13, 2017
at a rented room at the New York University complex near Washington
Square Park. Welcomed news that C/B-2 has a
new chaiperson was short-lived when she ludicrously signed-off on
a pack of libel, stupidity and outright lies. Teresa L. "Terry Lu" Grodner Cude is the worst chairperson of C/B-2 since Brat "Stealing Stonewall" Hoylman!
The S.V.A. assumed that with 4/5ths
of the activity committee are new to 'Quality of Life', there would ne
honesty and fairmness. Unfortunately in their poisonous negative
decion, there was neither. The two
old left-overs (pun intended); one a sanzy hater, the other a karin
kook, surprisingly hood-winked the other members. None acted in a
community-minded manner.
The desperately-needed new committee chair, although only
'acting' Cristy Dwyer,
allegedly some kind of a teacher, miserably failed to be honest,
sensible or fair. She is a bad 'act'! Her signed decision
is shameful, void of truth and she failed to reflect anything relevant.
Miss Dwyer gets an "F" for failure.
Duplicitous Miss Dwyer should be removed immediately by the
Manhattan Borough President who oversees the community boards. We
witnessed that two rotten apples spoiled the whole barrel!
FYI, the one lying hater is the half-baked manager of a
local South American restaurant with roaches on the wall, mouse
dropings on the floor and rats in the cellar! And she's gonna
judge the national S.V.A.? Fahgeddaboudit!
At
the "Stonewall Streetfair" is the unique provision of having
the famous, impounded by the NYC police, classic 1969 convertible on
display! Even if someone does not know or understand the
history of the classic vehicle, nonetheless, the car represents autos
from a half-century ago and, specifically, the Stonewall Era of the
late 1960s! The SVA's scheduled streetfair is for Saturday,
June 17th on University Place from East 14th Street down to East 10th
Street in The Village. As always, there will be actual Stonewall
Rebellion veterans volunteering their day (as usual) and tables of
educational literature! Students are especially welcome!
Take a photo with the "S/W Car"!

Thursday, March 23 -- S.V.A. SPEAKS PUBLICLY at MANHATTAN DISS-UNITY BORED '#2'
The STONEWALL
Veterans' Association reps wasted their valuable and prestigious time, once again,
by participating in the monthly Manhattan Community Bored #2 public
session @ 6 p.m. Although there were only five speakers from the
public including the SVA's director Willson L. Henderson, they kept barking
"You're time is up!" "You're time is up!" "You're time is up!" Really? No! A measly and
moronic one hundred
seconds is an inadequte time to explain all of the accomplishments and
work that the S.V.A.
did and does and all the while refute point-by point the false
'decision' regarding the S.V.A. annual streetfair which was never
delivered to the S.V.A. until we saw it 'lying' (pun intended) on a
public table this eve. After said 100
seconds, a buzzer goes off and you are rudely interrupted
mid-sentence.
It is reminiscent of Germany in the late 1930s and early 1940s!
Fortunately, there is a United States venue where you can
finish your evidence, thoughts and facts and Manhattan C/B-2 will be
told to
stop interrupting and shut-up: Court! Each C/B-2 liar and
libeler shall be sued one by one, each one a month in Court, until the
libel fully ceases!
*
Saturday, March 25 -- S.V.A. MONTHLY MEETING at NEW YORK LGBT CENTER in MANHATTAN, NY
With the "Ides of
March" behind us ten days ago (no one died), the S.V.A. has just three
months before its annual S.V.A. conference and the Gay Pride parade.
Those are the chief topics and planning on deck. In
connection with the latter topic, the SVA's guests this month are
appropriately officials from Heritage of Pride
("HOP"). Several of the HOP committee chais are participating
including for the community, the rally and the march and parade! The
hard-working volunteers from HOP are responsible for
the mutiple and mega projects of the annual New York GLBT Parade
(and/or March), Pride Island, the Rally, the
Pridefest and the Dance-on-the-Pier, among many other Gay events. Willson L. Henderson
moderates the interesting get-together with assistance from other
Stonewall veterans. Berti Coffman updates on public officials who S.V.A. has met with in the past month. Plenty! Ruthybird
provides the correspondence from public officials such as Manhattan
Borough President Gale A. Brewer and GLBT groups such as the Human
Rights Campaign. Mendy Seltza
updates on the local, lying and libelous Manhattan Community Bored #2 and
their psychotic activities committee! This time it
is likely the liars will be sued in court under oath where
they
will have to shut their lying mouths! The S.V.A. shall not be
judged
by liars and losers of C/B-2! AnDre Christie
greets members and guests at the door. (He was also at the C/B-2
debacle the other eve and described them as 'crazy behavior rude
nasties'.). Light foods are be served thanks to generous S.V.A.!
The next streetfair of the STONEWALL Rebellion Veterans' Association is:
Saturday, June 3 , 2017 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
at the same location: University Place from East 14th St. to Waverly Place.
2018
Monday, April 9 -- STONEWALL V.A. SUPPER and MANHATTAN COMMUNITY BOARD #2 STREETFAIR HEARING
The STONEWALL Veterans' Association activities committee has a "Stonewall Supper"
at White Oak Tavern on Waverly Place at Greene Street in the East
Village @ 6 p.m. The dinner precedes the Manhattan Community
Bored #2 ("C/B-2") annual "Streetfair Hearing"
@ 7:30 p.m. around-the-corner at the Silver Building at 32
Washington
Square East at N.Y.U. The out-of-control (no regulation)
C/B-2's activities committee, now ludicrously called 'quality of
life'
committee (what a misnomer) is known verbally and in writing for
years
as being slanderous, libelous and outright liars! The S.V.A. has
the written, published and signed evidence. Last year, the
now-bounced activities committee chair was Christy Dwyer the Liar.
Among other stupid lies she wrote in their 'opinion' that
"....the SVA's streetfair proceeds are used to maintain the 1969
Stonewall convertible". What if that were the case? After
all, the car is owned and maintained by the S.V.A. However, it is
100% lie. Why did she say that? Not a dollar from the streetfair goes to the
famous car! This year it is a nice-looking, obviously-Gay,
Irish-American chairperson of C/B-2. Will he go against the
nice-looking, openly-Gay, Irish-American head of the S.V.A.?
Lettuce see what
happens this year! Perhaps some of the liars will have an
epiphony? Attending both events are Stonewall vets Willson Henderson,
Bert Coffman, Ramon Bellido and Joni Sobel. In addition, the SVA's
general manager, with a roomy BMW sedan, AnDre Christie participates via driving the S/W Vetz! Looking forward to the SVA's 15th annual NYC Streetfair!
Oooopz! They damn did it again!
Sordid slander, sleaze and slime Manhattan Community Bored #2 details to follow....... (pardon the delay; no rush!)
----------
Update: Liars + Losers
IF they don't like being accurately labeled as liars, they should stop lying! Meanwhile, in any streetfair event, they are losers as they have lost again (and again and again and again and again). Obviously, they collectively get-off on making fools of themselves.
Game Quiz: Guess which lying C/B-2 member is voted for S.V.A. to sue in Court?
a) Cristy Dwyer the Liar
b) Joe-Ann Gallagher
c) Terri G. Crude
d) Rocia "Aunt Pepe" Sans
VOTE via email to SVA's Social Committee Chair: MrsMaryTwist@Hotmail.com

The 16th streetfair of the STONEWALL Rebellion Veterans Association is:
Sunday, May 19th , 2019
from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
at the same location: University Place from East 14th St. to Waverly Place
in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, New York City, U.S.A.
*
Legal Notice: This year, 2019, any
slanderous, libelous and/or defamatory statements made by the
truth-challenged NYC Manhattan Community Bored '#2' will
be met
with a civil suit for slander and libel and defamation! Last
time that the S.V.A. had to take that American democratic step,
the S.V.A., in the winning, landmark, seven-page decision, were
declared by the
court, the jury of peers and the judge as analagous to the women's
movement "Suffragets"! Our elected S.V.A. director Willson Henderson was
deemed by the NYC Civil Court as the "Gay Rosa Parks"!
It's a matter of record and shall be provided as prima facie
evidence. After lengthy waits per occurrence, it took five court
appearances before the case got started and five more before it
finished! What's not to like -- for the S.V.A.?!

2020: The SVA's 17th Annual N.Y.C. Streetfair
In violation of their own rules and guidelines, Manhattan Community Bored #2 sent notice to the SVA's
streetfair producer Mardi Gras Productions demanding that the STONEWALL Rebellion Veterans
Association -- celebrating its 50th anniversary -- must appear at a 'hearing' staged by C/B-2's
fact-challenged Street Activity Committee. That function is for new applicant streetfairs and other street
or sidewalk activities or changes -- not renewals! Said sham was held on Monday, February 10th at the
Little Red Schoolhouse on Avenue of the Americas in Greenwich Village, NYC.
Wherefore / Therefore Resolution: S.V.A. Wins; Community Bored #2 loses (again)!!
Even on the legendary STONEWALL Rebellion Veterans Association's
50th anniversary, the local Manhattan Diss-unity Bored #2 concocted,
that is, lied, with ludicrous excuses and mindless hypotheticals
as to why they do not 'recommend' the S.V.A. having a streetfair
to assist the under-funded yet vital non-profit organization.
Trust us, the heroes of the G.L.B.T. communities are not
interested in what liars 'recommend'! Most people know that many,
if not most, current ocsupants of Manhattan Diss-unity Bored #2
are liars and/or haters. In reality, that's why 3/4s of NYC
voters fi-nal-ly and overwhelmingly voted to 'term limit' them!
Too bad the new law is not retroactive -- as the S.V.A.
'recommended' -- to clean house now!

2021
SVA's 18th Annual N.Y.C. Streetfair
Despite the fact that last year, due to the Communitst China government
unleashing a worldwide sickening and killing, plus financial tsunami
pandemic, known among other labels as COVID-19 aka Wuhan
Virus, there were no streetfairs in New York City! Thus, the
City lost millions of dollars and every non-profit organization such as
the STONEWALL Veterans' Association
with a NYC 'permit' to stage a streetfair lost their
budget-appropriated, intended funds! It was an economic disaster
for the hard-working production companies such as Mardi Gras
Productions. Nonetheless, the notorious Manhattan Community Bored
#2 and its undemocratic Street Activities Committee, insisted that
the S.V.A. have yet another 'streetfair hearing' even though the
organization had one last year and received nothing for it!

Re: SVA's 18th Annual New York City Streetfair
Event name: "Stonewall Village Fair and Expo"
-versus-
New York City Manhattan Community Bored #2
Dear Street Activity Permit Office:
"Same ole, same ole!" Nothing stops these naysayers and libelers! It was
dubious to have another 'hearing' when the STONEWALL Rebellion Veterans' Association
had another one in 2020 yet there was, understandbly due to the
pandemic, no streetfair! It would be understandable not to have
two 'hearings' for the same streetfair... which may not happen this
year either! The original 'hearing' was scheduled for March 8, 2020 but
due to a time error and many other errors and glitches from the
Manhattan Community Board #2 side and after two hours of trying to
access "Zoom", it did not happen. The 'hearing' was rescheduled
for April 5 but, yet again, due to glitches via "Zoom", none of the
four S.R.V.A. officials could link in. The SRVA's event producer
Joe Giovanni from Mardi Gras Productions
was then interviewed separately via a conference call. Three
S.V.A. officials Bert Coffman, Joani Sobel and Ramon Bellido were left
out of said call and were thus deprived of representing the S.R.V.A.
and verifying various facts! FYI, for the first decade, the
S.R.V.A. streetfair was approved unanimously year-after-year!
What happened? It flies in the face of N.Y.C. activity permit
regulations that the iconic S.R.V.A. ever had to return for this annual ritual of harassment!
https://www.StonewallVets.org/mainpage.htm
On the positive side of New York City life in 2021 with the universally
celebrated 50th anniversary of everything "STONEWALL", all of which was
literally ignited by members of the legendary S.R.V.A. STONEWALL Rebellion Veterans' Association,
and on the negative side of life, the sickening and killer Corona virus
pandemic! Lettuce add the reality check that all of the Stonewall
veterans of the historic Stonewall incident in Greenwich Village are
now all revered elders -- except at C/B #2 -- of the New York City
community at large!
https://www.StonewallVets.org/Stonewall_Era_Club_People_Rebellion.htm
At the popular S.R.V.A. website with over ten million verified visits (all
tabulated independently by a global institution) and surely more than any
other streetfair applicant (some of whom have no website or one that has
been abandoned), you can see the work/dedication/forums/outreach and all
the prominent sponsors, citizenry supporters and the friends of the S.R.V.A.
https://www.StonewallVets.org/mission_purposes_goals.htm
At the supposed and unjustified 'hearing' via a no-see coneference call,
at many times, different unknown individuals, some barking out questions
simultaneously, commenced without apology for all the time we spent to
gain access. From the getgo, it was clearly undemocratic and an ambush.
The alleged chairperson 'John Gallagher' (with no contact 411)
exhibited no control. Nobody introduced themselves.
Rude! For reference purposes, I had to ask who was speaking
several times. One man "Bill", a longtime and negative member of
this committee, who has previously voted against the S.R.V.A.
streetfair (he should not have a 5th or 8th chance at the apple), asked
if S.R.V.A. was non-profit! Is the Pope a Catholic? Duh.
'Big Bill' asks the same dumb queery every year.
All of the SRVA's literature, website, e-mails, social media,
brochures, business cards, etc., etc. makes that abundantly
clear. It is a known fact! Besides, what would the S.R.V.A.
sell? Veterans? I informed them the STONEWALL Rebellion Veterans' Association,
aka S.V.A., has renewed its annual registration with the N.Y.S.
Charities Bureau. See samples above. While on the phone,
'Big Bill' looked it up on the NYS 'CharBur' website and stated he
did not see it! What, am I a liar? I ordered: "Look harder,
B"! (The 'B' was not for 'Bill'). He then admitted that he
found it. Duh. S.R.V.A. is registered with Charities!
https://www.StonewallVets.org/prominentsupporters.htm
Refutation: The C/B-2 'recommendation' of denial does all the farce,
short of blaming the world-famous Stonewall vets for the configuration
of the streets. The truth-distorters at the C/B-2 know that for over
a dozen years the S.R.V.A. held its annual - and approved - streetfairs on
University Place (south of East 14 St.)! The truth is that we, against
our preferred turf, accommodated the request of the City of New York to
"please" have it on the Broadway location south of East 14 Street. So,
do not blame the S.V.A. for being agreeable. In fact, four of the five
so-called "Whereas..." items do not even relate to the S.V.A. Tell the
other organizations, et al. that have a streetfair at that same location
that they are "denied"! You would not dare, would you, C/B #2? No way!
https://www.StonewallVets.org/businessadvertisers.htm
Another individual (who had to be asked her name three times with her
first replies "Why do you want to know") is called "Rocio Sans" (name
provided by the chairman). This is about her 9th time at the 'hearing'
with her noxiously voting against the S.R.V.A. If she was an honest lady
(she's not), she would have recused herself. If this was an honest 'hearing',
she should have been banned from her participation by the chairman. To
say she had a conflict of interest and was biased is an understatement. She
was beligerent, particularly to an established leader in the NYC community.
Miss Sans wears unwarranted hatred toward the S.V.A. like a 'badge of
honor'! She demanded: "What did YOU do with the MONEY from last
year?" I calmly responded: "MONEY? That's a crude
term. We never deal with MONEY! And, further it is the
organization, not ME! As you well know, although this C/B-2
activity committee a few years ago -- in writing --
slanderously and ludicrously characterized the half-century, non-profit
S.R.V.A. as a "one-man band", the reality is that SRVA's board of
directors of five and its executive committee of sixteen and staff of
six is well-publicized and is right now available on the homepage of
the S.R.V.A. website. Those numbers do not add up to 'one'!
To correct another misleading accusation by C/B #2, the
organization democratically makes its decisions, not any one person!
When another person asked does the S.R.V.A. meet 'virtually' since the
GLBT Community Center is closed due to the pandemic, I stated: "No, we
have not met there for three years! Obviously, they failed to
look at website!
The S.R.V.A. meets at a Greenwich Village Church and while that has been
closed for in-person meetings this year, so far, due to the pandemic, the
S.R.V.A. has its monthly meetings at the large and accommodating Morandi
Restaurant with its social distancing and safety guidelines. Since she
is the co-manager of a (fill-in-the-blank) restaurant, Miss Sans snapped:
"How many did you have at your dinner meeting at the Morandi Restaurant"!
I finally ended her barrage of questions: "How would I know? I did not
say I was there"! To that, she grunted, "Ohhhhhh". I could go on but....
You do not need a Master's Degree in psychology to know that Miss Sans
is a hater, although I do have said M.A. For certificate proof, view my weblink:
https://www.StonewallVets.org/WillsonHenderson.htm
Refutation: Although the Manhattan Community Bored #2's assertions
are less venemous and with no personal attacks, unlike previous years,
they have now lowered themselves to downright stupidity. Foolishly
stating -- in writing and signing it -- that the "....S.V.A. does not plan to
include other neighborhood or G.L.B.T. organizations in their streetfair"
is absolutely stupid! In fact, the S.V.A. is the tree and all the G.L.B.T.
are braches off the S.V.A. The openly-Gay chairman of the so-called
'activity commitee' asked Me in the hearing if the S.V.A. is in contact
with other Gay groups! What? I exclaimed: "Of course, we are!" As a
matter of record, I voluntarily offered a half-dozen G.L.B.T. organizations
that are supporters (that includes sponsorship$) of the S.V.A. including
the Human Rights Campaign (H.R.C.), Seniors Active in a Gay Environment
(SAGE), the New York State G.L.B.T. Political Coalition, national
Gill Foundation, and Gay Alliance of the NYS Court System, for starters!
Yet, Mr. Gallagher wilfully lied and duped ignorant to the facts C/B-#2
members -- and signed his name to it -- that the S.V.A. and Gay groups
is a no-go! Yeah, and Santa does not invite his elves to make the toys!
See a New York City mayor as Guest of S.V.A. leading a NYC Pride parade!
Https://www.StonewallVets.org/parade/SW-35.htm
Shhhhh! Do not tell Manhattan Community Bored #2 that in the past year+
that the S.V.A., under my leadership and my co-ordinating, distributed
thousands of prepared dinners, tens of thousands of face coverings (in
three forms), endless hundreds of gallons of hand sanitizers, thousands
of latex gloves and many thousands of canned and boxed foods and fresh
vegetables and fruits to needy NYC citizens who have been financially
burdened by the pandemic and to help protect them from disease and maybe
death! This was/is in collaboartion with humanitarian organizations and
several public officials including a U.S. congressmember, a NY state senator,
an assemblymember and three New York City councilmembers! But, C/B #2
slanders and says we do not invite the neighborhood?! Yet, S.V.A. continues!
Https://www.StonewallVets.org/upcomingevents.htm
The SVA's first vice-president R. Bert Coffman has spoken with the Manhattan Borough President Gale A. Brewer ("MBP"),
with an official complaint about the fact-challenged and selective
discrimination of the Manhattan Community Bored #2 so-called 'street activity
committee'. The MBP has promised to have the matter investigated
(again). Of course, Miss Brewer is longtime familiar
with the disingenuous, shameful and insulting situation for the
past several years!
Hopefully, there shall be a pandemic plan to allow for NYC streetfairs this year!
Thank you to all of the S.R.V.A. admirers and supporters including all =7=
N.Y.C. mayors from John V. Lindsay -to- W. Bill de Blasio!
P.S. The S.R.V.A. has already met with the top two NYC mayoral
contenders for next year's mayor (no, not Snott the Schlub
nor Horey Johnsin -- I said winners, not losers)! One mayoral
candidate guaranteed a
"STONEWALL Rebellion Veterans Association Day" in the entire
City of New York! The last one was just in one NYC borough!

The SVA's 18th annual streetfair was fully *approved* by the
City of New York. The entire SAPO staff is well aware of the
bizarre hate games that Manhattan Community Bored #2 liars
play with the legendary STONEWALL Veterans' Association!
They, like all other sensible people, are also aware of the reality
that what the members of the S.V.A. and some others did in June
of 1969 reaps million$ of dollar$ into NYC each and every year!
Due to the COVID-86 a.k.a. Wuhan Virus pandemic, once again,
all NYC streetfairs have had to be cancelled causing irreperable
harm to legitimate non-profit organizations such as the S.V.A.
The SRVA's streetfair had been scheduled for May 16th, 2021.
Updates: In
mid-Summer, the NYC streetfairs were re-established, after a
one-and-a-half years absence, with certain COVID pandemic concerns
addressed. The Mayor of the City of New York was contacted
directly by a high-profile intermediatory regarding the appropriate need to include
the non-profit STONEWALL Veterans' Association
being rescheduled on the NYC Streetfairs Calender!
"STONEWALL Veterans' Association's 18th Annual New York City Streetfair"!
New York City Streetfairs are back! The STONEWALL Veterans Association's
traditional streetfair has fortunately been re-scheduled from mid-May,
after being cancelled for the second year due to COVID pandemic health
crisis, to Sunday, September 26th! The S.V.A. shall have a
featured display along with tables, chairs, keepsakes and informative
literature
about the historic 1969 Stonewall Rebellion! Plenty of
foods! The streetfair is on Broadway just below Union Square from
East 14th Street down to East 9th Street. The SVA's display plus
tables and chairs is on Broadway between East 11th and 12th
streets. Hosted by SVA's elected director Willson Henderson. On-site organizers are the SVA's office manager AnDre Christie and assistant manager Leoni Castillo. The streetfair is titled "STONEWALL Market & Expo".
It starts @ 12 noon to 6 p.m. The SVA's streetfair is produced by
Mardi Gras Productions. Special thanks to the Mayor's Office and
