When: Sunday, November 15, 2015 at 6:57am (1 hour)
Where: Vic Mathias Shores (formerly Auditorium Shores)
The Keynote Speaker will be Mayor Steve Adler. DeannRené will lift us up with her songs. Jeff Stoops, Gulf Veteran, will honor our Vets and Rev., Dr. Nathan J. Robertson, Jr. will pray for our lost brothers and sisters.
This year we will read the names of 171 citizens of Austin who died in poverty from October 2014-October 2015.
For 23 years, we have gathered on Auditorium Shores (just re-named Vic Mathias Shores) when we say goodbye to the women, men, and children who have lived and died on our streets in poverty the previous year. This one hour service begins at Sunrise which should be at 6:56 am. The service always ends on time with a fellowship gathering afterwards when we share coffee, cocoa and a bite to eat.
The Homeless Memorial is located at South First Street and Riverside Drive. The Memorial is on the south side of Lady Bird Lake on the Roy Butler trail. It is about 75 yards west of the Fanny Davis Gazebo and about 75 yards east of the Stevie Ray Vaughn statue. There should be plenty of parking at the parking area which you can access from 900 Riverside Drive. Once you park, simply walk to the river and turn left. You will see us gathering on the right at the Homeless Memorial.
Thank you for joining us. You are welcome to invite your friends. You will be moved.
