Hello Hoopers!

This Sunday from 2-4 pm we will be Hooping at a big event: The Big ONE Convergence that is happening this weekend in Golden Gate Park, Sharon Meadow. Miss Rosie has arranged to have hooping be among the activities taking place. Sharon Meadow is located next to the Childrens playground and carousel, Close to the Haight St entrance to the Park. Our hooping will take place from 2-4 on Sunday although the event is on June 21& 22, from 9am-7pm.

Here's the description of the event:

The Big ONE "village of engagement" is a gathering of people from Bay Area neighborhoods, schools, coops, nonprofits, foundations, businesses, and municipal agencies. Participants will design, envision, collaborate, and dialog with new friends about the future of their neighborhoods and communities.

Prepare for the challenging times ahead; come, be heard, and engage. You can set up a table or an interactive exhibit to collaborate and share information and/or do a workshop, presentation, forum, art project, or hands-on demonstration of sustainable skills. We provide the space – a large grassy area with open-air tents, a media tent, and a stage for music encircling a larger gathering tent for food and socializing.
Fill the space with your dreams.

This is a 100% noncommercial event; nothing will be for sale. Bring picnic food and drink, plates, cups, and utensils for an enormous zero-waste potluck. We will have storytellers and games, and an eclectic mix of live music will be performed throughout each day.

The Big ONE movement represents a tectonic shift in thinking toward sustainability awareness and action, civic engagement, and localization of culture, economy, and decision-making. Based on respect for all life and the planet that sustains us, the gathering provides opportunities to build community through dialogue, committed engagement, and trust.

Also, if you want to keep hooping afterwards, the Sunset Party is happening in McLaren Park on Sunday from 12-7pm. For more info, go to pacificsound.net/events/index.html

See you on Sunday! --Allison
