Passion and progress at the new home of the Lower Eastside Girls Club

Big day today for the Lower Eastside Girls Club... they'll be holding a press ceremony for their official groundbreaking for their new home on Avenue D between Seventh Street and Eighth Street .... aside from some local politicians, Rosario Dawson will be on hand...

And there is significant progress here to note....




Meanwhile, Girls Club Executive Director Lyn Pentecost told me about the five murals on their construction fence along Avenue D ... painted by some of the leading women in the graffiti movement: TooFly, Lenora Jayne, Marthalicia and CeCe. (You can read more about it on Lenora Jayne's blog here.)







All very good news...

    That's Will Pentecost- helping out by putting on a coat of clear polyurethane...the murals are painted on masonite and needed a touch of waterproofing!

    uh, yeah right... "water" proofing.
