around the world for the ACM 2008 Opening Celebration
When: Friday, May 16th at 8:00 pm
Where: Algonquin’s Gym in Building “A”
Who: Come One! Come All! – All ages welcome
Come a few minutes early and enjoy the music of Ottawa First's own Blues
Band. Then grab a chair and experience the pride and the joy of the
colorful Banner Parade. Like the opening ceremony at the Olympics –
cheer as your Congregational banner is paraded into the Hall!
Be inspired. Meditate. Share the energy. Get into the mood – and join
Tony Turner in singing the "Circle of Song" our ACM 2008 theme song.
Delight in the inspirational music of the combined choirs of Ottawa's
Congregation and Fellowship directed by Jane Perry
Meet and enjoy the company of Unitarians and Universalists of all ages.
This is a joyous occasion to share with Congregations and Fellowships
from across the country and around the world.
The Ingathering Ceremony will last for about an hour - then everyone is
invited for an evening of fun. Come to our ‘Open Mic’ event or bring
your dancing shoes and enjoy Sacred Circle Dancing with Margaret Rao.
Don't even think of going to bed early! Join us - sing, dance, and meet
new friends.

Calling all
gardeners!
Bring your favorite seeds to the Ingathering. If you have seeds
for flowers or other plants that you think others would enjoy,
bring them in small labeled paper bags (no plastic please);
include a photo of the plant if possible and write the name of
your city or town on the envelope. Make sure that you do not bring
seeds that could develop into an invasive weed if grown in another
region in Canada. Seeds collected at the Ingathering will be
exchanged during Monday's Closing Ceremonies.
The seed is hope; the flower is joy.
