You still have time to help us select a theme for Reeb Rave! Sunday October 10th is the deadline. Click here to vote for this year’s theme. These are the themes up for voting:
- Garden of Delights– dress up as animals, flowers or anything delightful, because we need some delight after the pandemic.
- Who is your Hero? – celebrate someone you see as your hero in costume. Entertainment could include music about heroic characters.
- Love Resists and Persists– celebrate our social justice heroes with costumes, songs, symbols\icons. Decorations could include displaying T-shirts and posters of protests and movements.
- Masquerade– come in costume with a mask. We could have materials to make your mask fancy!
- We’re Back! – let’s celebrate getting back together. We could wear our Reeb T-shirts and write on the back “We’re back 2022”. Theme song could be Beatles “Get back to where you once belonged”.
- Folk Tales\Fairy Tales– dress up as folk and fairy tale characters from any culture; the entertainment could include skits, stories, and songs
What Unique Things do You Have to Offer?
We encourage you to offer items and experiences that help us build connection and community – gatherings, excursions, homemade food and goods, artwork, services, lending, lessons etc. Every year we learn a little more about each other through these exchanges and build more Beloved Community. Other donations are also very welcome! If you aren’t using it anymore, it might become a treasure for someone else. That’s another form of connection too. Feel free to include a little background on items you offer.
