This year's Commemoration of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings is
on Wednesday, August 6th, downtown, and as usual we will paddle the
Willamette to close the ceremony.

This is a twilight event timed to be off the water at Michael's Landing
before dark. As in previous years, the canoes and kayaks will be lit
with Japanese-style lanterns.

The floating procession is intended to be a solemn experience, in
keeping with the theme of remembrance of the victims of the bombings.

I am told that the people participating in the downtown ceremony will
be able to walk out onto the new bridge to watch us pass.

If you are an experienced boater with an evening to spare in dedication
to peace, please contact Andi Stephens: Andi.Q.Stephens@gmail.com.

Please let me know if you can join me.
