Jacksonville Pagan Pride Day 2005 Events / JaxPagans Date: May 17, 2005 - 08:50 PM Jacksonville Pagan Pride Day 2005 When: Aug. 27th. 2005 Where: Jacksonville, Florida Local Pagan Pride Day and Emerald Rose concert Event Details: Jax Pagan Pride Day is on August 27 from 10:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. We are again holding our event at the beautiful grounds of UUCJ (7405 Arlington Expressway, 32210) . In addition to all the activities that will be happening during Jacksonville Pagan Pride Day, we would like the members of this community to again come and set up informational altars to represent the path they follow. The only requirement for setting up an altar is that you RSVP by August 10 so we can include you in the advertising for the day. Our idea is to mark areas around the grounds with banners. At each of these areas, we hope that a group will set up some type of altar/table/set up/decoration with written explanations of what is being shown. This will allow the guests to learn what we have here in Jacksonville. THIS is what Pagan Pride Day is all about! We are proud to be in Jacksonville, as a Pagan, and to be part of this learning group! Once again, we will be collecting non-perishable foods for the Arlington Community Center and pet supplies for the Stray Cat House. They need towels, cat food, litter and bleach. Our community will be offering a public Mabon ritual at 5 pm. This will be a ritual to honor this time of year and all paths are encouraged and welcome to stand in circle with us! Pagan Pride Day is a time to celebrate togetherness - let's all celebrate that!! We will be offering up to 15 workshops and classes, and that schedule will start at 11 am. Please see the Events page for more detail. Emerald Rose is returning for another PPD concert and they will be performing at 6 pm. Childcare will be a big hit again this year. Concession will be offered this year again. This was a huge success last year - we heard so many comments that people enjoyed the menu, the low prices, and the availability of food and drink. So, look for Chefs Terra and Brian to be serving up the burger, veggie burger and hot dog fare. Yummy! VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: Now, here comes the plea for help. We hope that you are excited after reading all the fun events that JPPD 2005 will have to offer. We hope you are excited enough to want to be a part of making it happen! This year, we've made the volunteer program even more enticing. Click here for our schedule and task list. Every volunteer will get a goody bag and meal, drink and snack tickets, and discount coupons at our merchants, and extra raffle tickets! We need about 50 people to ensure the day goes smoothly and everyone enjoys themselves.
