Fourth Anniversary of PULSE Nightclub shooting.
For those of you who regularly read my blog posts, you know that they are usually informative with a bit of sarcasm and what I consider wit, thrown in. Today’s post takes a more somber and reflective tone as we remember the forty-nine victims of the Pulse Nightclub shooting.
Things you can do during this pandemic to honor and remember the forty-nine souls lost on that tragic day.
1. At 7 p.m. Friday, the onePULSE Foundation will stream a pre-taped ceremony on its Facebook page and YouTube channel. The program includes the reading of the 49 names by family members and remarks from Poma, Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings and onePULSE Foundation board chairman Earl Crittenden.
2. Donate to the OnePulse Foundation. https://onepulsefoundation.org/donate/. The OnePulse Foundation is raising money for a permanent memorial and museum. They also have a scholarship fund and plan on giving out $333,000 for the 2020-2021 school year.
3. If you are a gun control advocate, today would be a good time to contact your state representative, Senator and congressman/congresswoman.
4. There is still time to sponsor someone in the 2020 CommUNITY Rainbow run as it has been rescheduled to September. https://www.communityrainbowrun.com/
5. Lastly, take a few minutes to pause, read this poem, and reflect. This poem was posted on Facebook by a friend of mine who lives in Orlando.
