[Gpdd] REMINDER: Memorial Candle Lighting TONIGHT - March 9th

[GPDD Admin]

From: Audrey Binder, Organizer

You are invited to participate in our fifth annual "Light for Peter  
Gurney" candle
lighting memorial on Tuesday, March 9th, 2010, at 8:00 pm.  As I  
promised to be the
official "reminder person" for this event, I'll keep sending out  
reminders until March
9th. [Admin's note: the GPDD has been down due to a serious server  
problem. This is the
first - and ONLY notice about the candle lighting]

This is a "real" event, as everyone is invited to light a real candle  
at or around 8:00
pm, in your respective time zone, in rememberance of our beloved Alge,  
Debbie, Kirstin,
Joseph Petrillo, Peter Gurney, and all of the guinea pigs who are now  
with them at the
Rainbow Bridge.  Peter Gurney was a tireless advocate for guinea pigs,  
who passed away
from cancer July 1, 2006, in Great Britain.  He wrote many of the  
books that we use, and
he was probably the best guinea pig authority and advocate in the world.

March 9th was his birthday, and many of us who read the GPDD decided  
that it would be a
fitting day to remember and honor him.  We have now expanded this  
memorial to include and
honor our dear GPDD friends who are with him at the Rainbow Bridge.   
Basically, all you
need to do is light a candle on March 9th, in the evening, and the  
light will move around
the world.

The memorial is also for all of the piggies who have passed away and  
are now with Peter
Gurney.  We know that he and our GPDDers with him are looking after  
all of them.

This will be our fifth memorial candle-lighting, and at the end I will  
ask you where you
lit your candle, and post a listing of all the places where the light  
went. So, mark your
calendars for March 9th at 8:00 pm!

Also, if anyone has ideas on how to expand our world-wide coverage of  
this event (guinea
pig forums in other countries), please let me know if you can help.   
The more, the better!

We will be lighting our candle on March 9th.

Audrey, William, and Gordon the GP
