Dia de los Muertos celebration
A Company of Girls is Celebrating Dia de los Muertos this weekend!! Sadly it is going to be the very last event to be held at Portland's Adams School. In the few weeks after the event ACOG will be moving to a new location and the City of Portland will be closing the building awaiting a new development project. The Adams school has been a great location for our program and we are sad to leave. That is why we are asking the Portland Community to help us celebrate our time here with one last event! On Friday night we will be displaying the art work of children, artist, and community members from 5-8pm. Then on Sat Nov. 1st the Day of the Dead will begin with the making of dead bread from 9-noon, then 3-4:45 Live music, with dinner to follow. After dinner of traditional cuisine ACOG will ask all who attend to parade around the neighborhood to end the evening. The cost is $10.00 for adults and $5.00 for students (there is no cost for the gallery on Friday). If you have any questions about the event please call ACOG at 874-2107 or email myself or Odelle Bowman at odelle@acompanyofgirls.org. We look forward to seeing you this weekend.
