>     We have an event coming up that I hope some of you  may be
> interested
> in attending. There is going to be a candlelight vigil on Friday October
> 24th from 6-8PM in front of the Unitarian Society to show support to
> people who are living in shelters or who are needing to use other
> support services in the community, including the Grove Street Inn,
> Jessie's House, Safe Passages, HCAC Housing Services as well as the
> Salvation Army, the Survival Center and the SRO Outreach Project. It is
> part of our effort to draw attention to Shelter Sunday which is a
> fundraising drive (as you may know) benefiting all of these programs. We
> hope
> to bring attention to Shelter Sunday as well as make a visible presence
> known
> to the people who are using these services.
>     If you think this is an event worth supporting, please pass this
> information on through whatever networks you have available to you. Your
> presence, visible community support, will give a powerful and memorable
> message to people who are in need of services.
>     It will help if people bring candles. Children are welcome. There
> will be some music and various representatives of different programs
> introducing themselves and speaking very briefly.
>     We will also spend some time in silence, and offer a prayer for all
> of us to close.
>     I am happy to answer any questions you may have.
> I guarantee you will make a difference in people's lives just by showing
> up.
> Thank you.
