Dear Colleagues,
Your UUP Buffalo Center Chapter has registered to participate in Buffalo’s Pride Parade scheduled for June 2nd, and are looking forward to your participation!
Members interested in participating in the parade should RSVP here no later than Tuesday, May 28th, so that we may have an accurate number of individuals to expect.
Family, friends and guests are invited!
Here are some important details for those planning to attend:
- The parade line up begins at 8:00 am and runs until 10 am. The parade starts at 11 am. Individuals arriving after 10am will not be able to participate in the parade.
- Any individuals who want to walk in the parade should look for Ryan Taughrin (UUP Buffalo Center Chapter’s Outreach Coordinator). He will be wearing a red UUP shirt in Buffalo State University lot R14 (1300 Elmwood Avenue).
- The parade travels south on Elmwood Avenue starting at Forest Avenue and ending at Allen Street. The block of Elmwood Avenue between Allen Street and Virginia Street will be closed to traffic; floats and marchers will be able to disassemble in this area.
Participants are encouraged to wear their UUP shirts along with their favorite pride attire, the flashier the better.
We will have pride flags for participants and will be making signs to carry in the parade as part of the Chapter’s Happy Hour on Thursday, May 23rd from 4 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. at the UUP 108 Commons office.
Hope to see you there!
In Solidarity,
Ken Kern
Chapter President
UUP Buffalo Center
