Community rememberances and benefit for Aubrey

Neighbors,

1) Please join us in a Peace Walk scheduled tomorrow, August 14th in
honor of Aubrey Abrakasa.

The Peace Walk will start at 1950 Page at Stanyan (Boys and Girls
Club) at 5:30pm and walk through the Panhandle to Baker and then end
at Grove and Baker (arrival expected to be 6:30pm).

All are welcome to speak. Various speakers are scheduled including
members of the Community Resource Network, the Healing Circle and the
Trauma Project. Paulette Brown, Aubrey's mother, wants to send a
message that violence must stop. She does not want other mothers to
go through what she has been through. In addition, NOPNA will be
handing out flyers and postcards you can mail in to the Mayor's
office to send a message "Silence the Violence" to the Mayor. We hope
to get some media coverage.

This is an opportunity for us to come together a community and
support our neighbor and send a strong message to the Mayor. I hope
you will take the time to participate.

2) Also, SF Day School is sponsoring a garage sale on Saturday Aug
18th starting at 11:30am which all proceeds will be donated to
Aubrey's parents. Paulette Brown is deeply touched by this offer and
plans to purchase a headstone for Aubrey's grave. She has not had
funds to do this up to this point and it means a lot to the family to
be able to honor him in this way. We hope you can be part of this
gift to the family.

A) BBQ and potluck for NOPA residents at 11:30am

San Francisco Day School will provide hot dogs, hamburgers (and some veggie dogs
and garden burgers), grilled potatoes, watermelon, drinking water,
napkins and utensils.

We would like residents to bring other dishes to share with others,
including desserts and drinks if you can.

The grill and potluck will be on the far side of the playground (on
Golden Gate, just east of Masonic).
