How long has Sea Cliff and Glen Cove held a Pride event?
To our knowledge, and please correct us if we are wrong, this is the first community-wide Pride event within Sea Cliff. Councilperson Marsha Silverman has held a Glen Cove flag-raising program for the past 5 years! To create unity within our community, we connected efforts so all of our neighbors could celebrate together.
Why is LYNP coordinating a Pride event?
