7/1/2017 Update from Priya
Here is an update on the 9/9 event at the Turkish Cultural Festival. Kadir very graciously checked with the Myriad Gardens and they have approved our walk and Mrs. Maureen Heffernan with Myriad Gardens Foundation will be speaking at the event.
We should know more about the Capitol event soon. I will make sure to keep everyone updated.
Thank you for your willingness to be involved in this year's peace day planning process.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Cheers,
Priya

Ideas
Peace Walk
- To be held during the Turkish Festival on Saturday, September 9, 2017 at 2:00pm. Thank you to our friends at the Raindrop Turkish Festival at Myriad Gardens.
- We agreed that walking around the block this year would be better, then just the square lawn and end by the stage; Pending Permission.
- Identified possible speakers: Maureen (Myriad Foundation), Mariana (Community Alliance), and Representative from Catholic Charities
- Table for Pinwheels- We identified the goal of having 200 pinwheels at event to be designed.
Peace Day Observance – Thursday, September 21, 2017
- Location: Capitol South Lawn [Pending approval]
- Pinwheels- stick pinwheels
- Speakers: 5 speakers; 3 min speaking allotment. We identified 5 speakers we would like to confirm with once we get approval of location; ACLU, CAIR, Sheri, Native Representative, Raindrop Turkish House Rep., Identified Candace Liger to ask regarding performing a poetry reading.
Pinwheels
- We agreed to set the goal of 200 designed pinwheels to be made at Turkish Festival.
- Invite organizations to create and design larger pinwheels.
- Send Invite to the following groups to participate in pinwheel for peace initiative
- Social Justice Organizations
- School Teachers, principles, and art teachers
- OKC Sister City Organization
- Honorary General Consulate
- WEF and other like organizations
- OU, UCO, and OSU
- We discussed the idea of ordering in bulk plastic pinwheels- this will allow people to use different color permanent markers to write message on pinwheels; quick and easy
- We agreed on plastic pinwheels as the best option, as paper can get wet and flimsy.
- We agreed it would be best to direct group participants to 1.) A how to video tutorial 2.) Direct to an already made pinwheel kit for the to design.
- Discussed the possibility of this being a fundraising push- Such as sponsor your family for $______ to create pinwheel, ect.
- Pinwheels we identified at the meeting is from http://www.orientaltrading.com/pinwheels-a2-13750303.fltr?categoryId=550216
- What I learned from looking more into it is the $7/per unit price is for the Black pinwheel; Other colors are blue, light blue, purple, pink, red and yellow are $9/per unit
- Also GREAT NEWS is we thought a unit was a dozen- but on the description it reports that 3 dozen per unit! )
