NOTE:
The theme Wheels of Change: A Multicultural Kaleidoscopeä offers an amazing opportunity for participants and observers to contrast the range of experience expressed in language and art. Here we'll be able to see how a ten-year-old views wheels of change, and how an older person views wheels of change. We will also see our multicultural and multi-age community in action. Like turning a kaleidoscope, we'll see so many varieties of wheels of change. There are many ways of finding wheels and seeing our world as a circle. When our beautiful, water-covered planet was viewed for the first time from outer space, it was called a "big, blue marble". The earth revolves around the sun, which seems like a golden disc. A circle of friends gather together to share a fresh baked apple pie; two more circles! Have fun creating your unique vision.
