Let's start talking here about how we are going to appeal to the city and the veterans on our presence in the park.

I have mentioned having a candlelight vigil midway through next week dedicated to those we lost through war.

Myths and Mirrors had instructions for making home-made tea lights using sticks and paper mache. These turned out really awesome!

My understanding is that both Tom Sutton and David D. were going to talk to people at the Lady's Auxilary thing, about Remembrance Day, and that there was a meeting planned today for 11, about it. If anyone has info on that and what was decided, let's get the notes posted here.


I don't mind the idea of candlelight vigils, but I'm wondering how it gets framed. Were you thinking of having it on Remembrance Day? The day before? After?

In the meantime, how do we frame things? I've heard some people talk about wanting to not glorify war, while at the same time recognizing that veterans and soldiers are part of the 99%. Anyone feel like starting a lively conversation here about your thoughts, feelings and ideas about remembrance day?

ON remembrance day we are not going to have any protests or anything, in respect.

We did converse on having weekly marches/events. I'm thinking Wednesday would be acceptable, or Thursday the day before.

I'm heading to the site now so hopefully there is news.

Smile Good. Please update us when you get back from the site!

I love the idea of weekly marches/events, because I know that there are people who want to participate who don't want to just come down and find nothing happening, but would come down for specific things.

Though actually, I'm not sure I agree that the weekly event for next week should be on remembrance day.... We should be respectful, but I'm not sure we need to actually do something for that day on a different day. But... just my opinion <shrug>
