***********************************
DAY OF REFLECTION: In Support of Japan
***********************************
Today, April 11
*  All day  *
Open to the Public
Dartmouth College
************************************

Monday, April 11, one month after the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan,  
a Day of Reflection, organized by the Tucker Foundation, will be held to express  
the Dartmouth community's ongoing grief and support for the people of Japan.

The Day of Reflection will include the kickoff of the Tsuru for Japan Project,  
a community-wide effort to fold 5000 cranes for fundraising and awareness. In  
Japan, origami cranes are a symbol of hope and goodwill. It is also believed that  
the greatest wish of anyone who makes 1,000 cranes (senbazuru) will come true.  
Cranes are often made for those recovering from illness or injury. Please bring  
any cranes you fold to the Collections Box placed at the Collis Center information  
desk.

Schedule of Events:

8 - 8:45 am  Zen Practice Group Sitting Meditation (Tucker Foundation)

12:30 - 2pm The Tsuru for Japan Project. The Dartmouth Japan Society (DJS) will  
host an opportunity for members of the community to write messages and fold origami  
cranes in support of relief efforts. (Collis Student Center Atrium)

5 - 5:30 pm  Community Candelight Vigil. All are welcome. (Rollins Chapel)
