It is a program that provides an opportunity to remember those we lost and advocate for better policies to end homelessness as we know it. It is free and open to the public. We would like to recruit volunteer musicians and singers to participate in the observance. We ask for a commitment for the length of the program, which is from 5:00 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. The hope is to have moving music/song that is non-denominational to honor all those in attendance. The acoustics of the space are great, but we will need you to bring an amp or other sound amplification if you intend to use it. We are expecting from the musicians: To play memorial appropriate music as people are entering between about 5-5:30 p.m. A welcome song at 5:30 pm A song in the middle of the program; And a closing song If you are interested and have a sample of your performances or music that you could share we would be very appreciative. We will provide you with more details as we get closer to the event. We look forward to working with you!
