Connections July 2023

Page 1

The Pride Center and MOCHA joined forces, throwing a great party to celebrate Pride 2023.

Gloomy weather didn't prevent Community Access Services from once again kicking off Juneteenth weekend in Buffalo with a block party. The event featured food, music, crafts, giveaways, face-painting, testing and more.

The Pride Center/MOCHA party wasn't the only place people celebrated Pride Weekend on a Friday night. This party sponsored by members of the LGBTQ+ community raised money for Evergreen's harm reduction services.

Team Evergreen (and a LOT of other people) gathered at Buff State to line up for the parade.

Mark your calendar! The submission deadline for the August 2023 issue of Connections is Monday, July 21. Be sure to get your content in before the deadline to guarantee placement.

Kids, pets, vacations, recipes -we want to share it all with Team Evergreen! Email EvergreenConnections via Outlook.

The Pride parade started at Buff State and proceeded down Elmwood Avenue all the way to Allen Street. There were lots of balloons, bubbles, rainbow flags and big smiles from participants and spectators.

Parade season continued with the Juneteenth celebration! Team Evergreen was out in full force, marching down Genesee Street to MLK Park for the festival.
