As most of you know, our beloved film/tech/train/jazz/labyrinth/werewolf/volunteering-loving Renaissance man Paul Bingham passed away from cancer on April 3, 2011. A private memorial in his honor is planned for this Sunday, April 17, at the <a href="http://portlandartmuseum.org/">Portland Art Museum</a>âs Whitsell Auditorium. All are welcome (There will be chocolate! And a labyrinth!) but you must RSVP because there is a capacity cap. You can do that here: <a href="http://friendsofpaulbingman.eventbrite.com/">http://friendsofpaulbingman.eventbrite.com/</a>
What you might not know is that the organization planning the memorial--they appropriately call themselves Friendâs of Paul Bingham--is raising funds to cover the expenses related to the memorial. They are also raising money to donate to two of his favorite organizations in his name: <a href="http://www.nwfilm.org/">The Northwest Film Center</a> and <a href="http://www.trinity-episcopal.org/08TrinitySite/sections/parish_life/labyrinth.html">The Trinity Labyrinth Guild</a>. You can donate money via this website: <a href="http://paulbingman.chipin.com/memorial-event-for-paul-bingman">http://paulbingman.chipin.com/memorial-event-for-paul-bingman</a>
Because Paulâs interests were so varied and vast (and so are the friends he made) the Friendâs of Paul Bingham group is asking all of us help spread the word about his memorial. Not all of the lives he touched are Internet savvy, so they might not know about the memorial. They might not even know that Paul has passed. So, if youâre part of a group that Paul had been involved with, we ask that you share the news of his death and invite anyone who may have experienced his bear hugs and kindness to RSVP and attend the memorial.
This Fridayâs Beer and Blog meetup is dedicated to the memory of our dedicated friendly soul Paul, the man everyone loved so much. Weâll be accepting donations to turn over the the Friendâs of Paul Bingham group. And weâll be sharing stories about the giant with the giant heart. We hope to see you there. I know Paul will be, in spirit. |
