Focus Month - Day Two

This afternoon, the two girls and I met at the park to plan out Saturday's event and have adventures with getting permits from the parks and rec department.

Adventures, which, amazingly, turned out to be not so adventurous after all. Turns out that permit giving folks are actually quite friendly and willing to let you draw with chalk on public bike paths. Especially when you let the innocent looking teenagers do the talking.

We did, however, tweak our plans a little bit, when we realized just how many sidewalk squares we were talking about covering!

Anyone of student age (middle school through college) is invited to join us this Saturday at 10:00am to draw 4,931 chalk figures (stick men) near the green dock in H*ward Am*n park. 4,931 is the number of people who die from AIDs each and every day.

We'll be passing out story cards and involving the community in the drawing process. It should be pretty cool.

*Parents: this event is designed to be student led and executed. There will be other chances for you to get involved, but, for now, ask your student to take plenty of pictures, so that you can hear about it when they come home. Thanks!*
