Gay for Good - November Service Project

G4G is moving indoors this month as we join forces with the Rainbow Fund to help fold and fluff thousands of origami cranes for this years World Tree of Hope. The World Tree of Hope is the largest origami decorated holiday tree in the world, standing nearly 20 feet tall and decorated with over 12,000 origami cranes and stars each hand folded and inscribed with wishes for the future of the world. The Tree is a symbol of global unity promoting peace, love and humanitarianism and is a gift from the LGBT community to the world. This year the tree is moving to it's new home at Grace Cathedral. http://www.rainbowfund.org/tree/tree-of-hope.html We last helped with this project 2 years ago and quite a few of the volunteers have been asking when we are going to be back. It's one of the more social events in that there is a lot of time to get to laugh and get to know fellow volunteers as we have fun with the work. Don't fret if you aren't skilled in the art of origami folding, you will be taught the proper techniques. Aside from folding there will be plenty of non folding tasks such as coloring new cranes and ironing cranes from years past to make them look fresh and new. Music, food, and drinks will be provided. The conversations and laughs are up to you! Please note: This event WILL NOT be at the final installation location, Grace Cathedral. We will be meeting at Most Holy Redeemer Church Hall (100 Diamond St.). You will want to enter the church basement hall at the side door.
