Subject: For the Blast - Pride Art Day!


Get Creative for a Cause! On June 20th, 9 am - noon, you and your family are 
invited to Unity Unitarian to make colorful flags to carry in the LGBT Pride 
Parade (parade is Sunday, June 28). This art workshop will including batiking 
colorful ribbons and banners with short Pride slogans. We would love to have 
everyone at both the art workshop and the parade, but participants may also 
attend just one. We will have all the necessary materials along with coffee and 
snacks. Show up with energy, enthusiasm and creativity. Children under 16 
should be accompanied by an adult. We will not offer childcare, because your 
children will love this activity! We will be using dye, so wear old painting 
clothes. We are asking for $1 contribution to defray the cost of some of the 
materials. If you can bring an old iron (may get wax on it) or some newspaper, 
please do!

 

On Sunday June 28, a combined group of UUs from around the Twin Cities will 
march together with the flags we have made in rainbow colors, along with our 
church banners and a wonderful batiqued dragon, made by our own parade artist, 
Mary Jo Nikolai. We will all be marching in the White Bear UU parade slot.  
Meet near Hennepin and 3rd, step-off is 11 am.  Exact parade slot will be 
announced June 14th.  E-mail Ann Hite at amh1960 [at] gmail.com for workshop 
and parade details.
