FIRST FRIDAY FREE HUGS

Aloha kind spirits, A few years ago a young man had an idea to offer strangers free hugs! Not to make money, not because he sought fame. He summoned such inspiration because he wanted to give others what he wanted for himself. He wanted to "Be the change he wants to see in the world"! Juan Mann is the compassionate spirit who began this movement with his simple practice. Here is a link to a 3 minute video of him and his beginnings that has changed my life: http://www.youtube.co...

FIRST FRIDAY IS A BLAST ~ WITH LIVE BANDS, GOOD FOOD AND ALL THE ART ON DISPLAY! smile THIS SIMPLE ACT HAS BEEN LIFE CHANGING FOR MANY PEOPLE! smile COME JOIN US & EXPERIENCE IT FOR YOURSELF... :-) Here are a few words from Juan Mann briefly describing this now world phenomenon... The Free Hugs Campaign is an international kindness initiative, that has spread to over 80 countries around the world, founded on the simple principle of offering a stranger a hug. The Free Hugs Campaign began on Wednesday June 30th, 2004 in an effort to cheer up one personÂ’s day. Mine. The Free Hugs Campaign is about many things, like making someoneÂ’s day a little brighter, meeting people and showing the world that strangers arenÂ’t so bad after all. ItÂ’s also about bringing people together and sharing a happy moment before heading back out into the world feeling a little lighter. The Free Hugs Campaign is all about people being there for each other. When youÂ’re feeling sad and alone in the world, it helps to talk to people, to share a laugh with someone, to see someone smile at you, to have somebody wrap their arms around you and reassure you that everything will be alright...

I've been involved in this movement for about two years and it is truly inspiring. I've met some incredible human Beings here. And many people that I've experienced this rare exchange with have expressed how deeply moving and fulfilling it has been... We welcome You with open arms... smile Sincerely, Eric King 677-4751
