Please join us on Sunday, June 30 (5:00 pm – 7:30 pm), to help dismantle the Pink Triangle after the parade. You’ve felt the pride when you’ve seen the huge triangle displayed on Twin Peaks for Pride Weekend every year, haven’t you? This is your chance to be a part of an important symbol and commemoration. The Friends of the Pink Triangle always get lots of assistance assembling the triangle, but they are in dire need of people to help take it down at the end of the weekend (you know what it’s like cleaning up after you’ve had the party and everyone is burned out)! We will have three jobs: pulling up stakes, carrying the canvas pieces up the hill, and folding the canvases. We could use 20 volunteers, but the more that help, the sooner the job gets done!
ATTIRE: The Friends strongly recommend wearing shoes/boots with tread since much of the work is done on a hillside. Dressing in layers is advisable given the time of day and weather patterns in SF. The Friends ask that you bring gloves, if you have them; if you don’t, gloves and other tools will be supplied.
SNACKS AND DRINKS: Water and limited snacks will be provided.
DIRECTIONS & MAP: from Market/Castro/17th Street – go up 17th; left on Clayton; immediate right on to Twin Peaks Blvd.; stay on Twin Peaks Blvd. all the way up the hill (caution: at one point it turns sharply left, if you go straight you’ll be on Clarendon – wrong way!); at the top of the hill is a small street named “Christmas Tree Point Road” that takes you to the Twin Peaks vista point/overlook parking lot. http://www.thepinktriangle.com/about/helping.html
ABOUT: The San Francisco Twin Peaks Pink Triangle has been displayed for every Pride Parade Weekend since 1996. This will be its 18th display. It is through the display that the Friends of the Pink Triangle hope to educate others of the message of the Pink Triangle – the message of what can happen when hatred and bigotry go unchecked and become law.

See you on the 30th!
