Commemoration Ceremony
Save this date: June 25th from 4-5:30pm
We will come together as a community to commemorate and honor the many lives we’ve lost during the last few months - lives lost as a result of COVID directly/indirectly and lives lost as a result of racism and police brutality. Part of our programming will include an opportunity to share readings and reflections. The readings and reflections can be read by you or if you prefer, someone else can read for you.
Each creative piece should be less than a minute long. These contributions can be your own creative piece, or created by someone else. Pieces can be an art piece, a song, poem, essay, etc. or any creative piece that inspires you and is appropriate for the occasion.
If you would like to read your own piece, please submit a video recording of you reading the piece, or if you rather someone else read the piece for you, please submit the piece directly.
Either way, please submit all contributions via this google form here and submit by June 22.
