the parade has been going on for years and not only are the schools in need of repair but so are the underfunded schools in the same districts that the parade goes through. who ever has been getting money for the parade certainly hasnt been using it to help the community. people are greedy. |

Its like being taxed for federal and state tax when ever you get your pay check. You pay taxes but you don't have a damn clue what the money is being used for.

Ahhhh this is a question for the other elite bands. They will soon step into the light..the spotlight is moving in there direction slowly but surely, and a lot of dirty laundry will soon be exposed if they do not act. You cannot have 1 of the 3-4 bands take a position that is the obvious while the others sit on the sideline and settle for the short term small benefits. This is for the long haul.

So what is your solution. Do you plan to print out this thread and take it to a corporate sponsor and say I have ten vex imix members. So you should give me $60,000 or else me and my two imix pm friends boycotting the parade that brings in over 4 million people.lol Have you ever written a Federal, State or City grant before and how much money did they give you after you wrote the grant? Did you have to turn in Quartly reports for the grant with outcome statements and how did you gather and collecting your information? You have to be creative and show effective ways of collecting information for your funding source because they will be holding you accountable in the end for taking tax payers money.

A huge amount of those million of ppl are ppl that have no true regard for w. indian culture...they're out there because its something to do and its free and the trouble causing riff raff are part of that. Those who care about and appreciate the culture are the ones that will pay for the seats. Quality over quantity.

Who is this "someone" that is getting "rich" and that's only your personal opinion that the community is not benefiting from the parade. For example, when Machel performed two weeks ago in BK for FREE the same community did not benefit by having a FREE public Concert in their own community that promoters will charge close to $150USD for at MSG?
