DMI 2005 Annual Benefit Honoring Harry Belafonte & Arianna Huffington "For Speaking Truth To Power."

Please join us as we honor

HARRY BELAFONTE and ARIANNA HUFFINGTON

For Speaking Truth To Power.

Wednesday, June 8, 2005
7:00pm - 8:00pm

1199/SEIU Cherkasky-Davis Conference Center
330 West 42nd Street / Penthouse

We believe in conversation, in the exchange of ideas, in bringing people with strong viewpoints together. Instead of the same old rubber-chicken sitdown dinner, support the Drum Major Institute and connect with a crowd of compelling progressives and our distinguished honorees in a penthouse with beautiful views of the West Side and the Hudson River. Join us for excellent hors dâ€™oeuvres, live music, and the opportunity to celebrate the work of two drum majors for justice.

Tickets for DMI's 2005 Annual Benefit are $250 for individuals. There is a special ticket price of $50 for guests 30 and under. Sponsorships of $5,000 to $50,000 are also available for this event. Tickets can be reserved by contacting LeeAnn Fletcher at 212.909.9671.

Only in New York

The lengthy lead story in the Real Estate section [of the NY Times] credited Lopez with sparking a massive rebuilding effort in Bushwick, way back when he was a graduate student in 1971, and then carrying it through. The story also mentioned that Angela Battaglia's agency is the developer for a $20 million component of the rebuilding effort. It even pictured [Vito] Lopez and Battaglia standing together in front of new housing construction. But the story omitted that Battaglia is Lopez's girlfriend. Does that connection at least deserve mention? Might the article have explained why there was or wasn't a conflict of interest present? Was it a coincidence that Lopez's girlfriend's outfit was put in charge of the $20 million deal? Inquiring minds would like to know. It may well be that everything was done on the up-and-up. But given Lopez's tendency to do favors for his friends-for example, he helped make his girlfriend's brother Jack Battaglia a Civil Court judge-the Times should have explored the question.
