Greetings Burners from the Great Lakes Region!
The organizing team at Lakes of Fire/G.L.E.A. Inc. is pleased to announce a challenge grant to help the Great Lakes C.O.R.E. project get out to Black Rock City, get built, get burnt, and then get all cleaned up with no trace! Just go to this website.
Give what you can, and the Lakes of Fire organizers’ team will match the wider community’s gifts up to $1,000! No donation is too large or too small, and the first thousand dollars will be DOUBLED!
C.O.R.E PROJECT – WHAT’S THAT?
The Circle of Regional Effigies (C.O.R.E.) will be a ring of effigies surrounding the Man in Black Rock City 2011. Each effigy will be created by a community within the Burning Man Regional Network.
WHO’S INVOLVED IN THE GL-C.O.R.E?
The Great Lakes C.O.R.E. project is a collaboration between burners from Chicago, Detroit, Ann Arbor, Western Michigan, Indiana, and Milwaukee. If you want to help out, guess what? You can!!! Just check out this website.
SO WHAT’S THE BIG IDEA?
We wish to represent the ‘The Great Lakes’ in the C.O.R.E. project by building a lighthouse effigy inspired by the Bacon Beacon from Lakes Of Fire 2010: A Spaced Oddity. You might have seen our smaller replica burned on Friday at Lakes of Fire 2011: Anima Mundi. While many groups that are building effigies for C.O.R.E. are coming from one city, or one event, we believe that Great Lakes burners have been networking beyond just our own personal regions – and creating a regional culture. The lighthouse is a physical symbol of this wider, Great Lakes culture.
