At last
somebody has the temerity and guts to say enough is enough.
The constant police harassment and unnecessary
restrictions(both on labour day and the weeks prior), the
inability of NY city and state and WIADCA to financially
assist MAS men and Pan Men and their inability to represent
us completely has caused many of us to literally drop out.
Obviously this is what the Hassidic community wants so they
could stifle our cultural extravaganza. That this
carnival/festival generates some $300 million in revenue
most of it going to small merchants and small purveyors of
services should be considered by NY city and state as
absolutely vital but they prefer to bend to the prevailing
political whims and has taken an antagonistic stance against
the event even if they come to the opening. You don’t expect
Mike Bloomberg to do otherwise do you? I do hope other
major participants understand and support this effort. What
we need is a petition signed by all or enough of the
participants and orgs to this effect (deposit it at Mike
Bloomberg's doorstep.Congrats !!

HAWKS
INTERNATIONAL.........You will be missed.
The first time I ever played Mas was with Hawks. You all
were truly a blessing to not only me but also to my family.
Can you imagine a little red American boy with his American
mother coming into a mas camp looking confused. But the next
thing you know that same little boy hears some music and he
whining down the place? That was me. I didn't know much
about Carnival, since I'm not from the West Indies, but all
I knew was I had to be on Eastern Pkwy dancing with a
costume.
You all treated me with the utmost 'R.E.S.P.E.C.T.' which is
something that's rare to find these days. People are more
concerned about winning a damn trophy than the 'WHOLE
CARNIVAL EXPERIENCE!' You all took me under your wing and
that was one of the best Carnival years I've ever had.
I love you all and I pray God's blessings to all that you
endeavor. Don't stay away too long, my heart can't take it.
MAS
