This is an event to bring all the friends and family to. There will be singing, food, friends, and most of all, an opportunity to bring the best of yourself. There is one rule: that everyone who comes brings a gift. Everyone. Not just any gift; it must be something of your own make and one for all to enjoy. What do you have to share?
-
A few words from the heart
-
A song to sing
-
A story to tell
-
A lesson to give
-
A moment of entertainment
-
A craft or creation
-
Whatever else you can think of.
But please, don’t stress yourself over it. This is not a talent contest. Showboating is highly discouraged. You can make a contribution as small or grand as you like. Whether you spend 4 days or 4 seconds on it what we really want to see is something that is yours.
The specific aims of this ritual are to invoke:
-
A sense of unity and connection within the community * Pride in teamwork and contribution as part of achievement
-
Appreciation for the contributions of others, and for the unique set of circumstances that brought about Us.
-
Determination to go on succeeding at life
The plan is to do a practice run first on Saturday 2pm, anyone who wants to come and be part of the decisive effort to figure out what works is welcome to that. Come an hour before the real one if you’d like some time and materials to make a last minute project :P
