Hello, As a past Homeless Stand Down Entertainer (or a new friend!) we are reaching out hoping you will take part in this worthwhile event. The Homeless Stand Down, providing services and a day of respite for the homeless veterans of Northeast Ohio, will be on: Saturday, April 20 from 10-2:00 at Cleveland Public Auditorium Here is a link to learn more: 2024 HSD - Guest Flyer (bvuvolunteers.org) <https://bvuvolunteers.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/2024-HSD-Guest-Flyer-1.pdf> We’re excited to be at Public Hall once again where there will be plenty of room for Meals, the Barber and Clothing Shops, Medical Services and more(!) and this is where, hopefully, you come in! MOBILE PERFORMERS: Everyone will enter through the main lobby and be waiting in line to enter the hall. Single or small group entertainment that is not overwhelming in sound or visuals would be welcome and set a nice tone for the day. Guests inside the Auditorium may be in line or at tables awaiting various services, resting or enjoying a meal. Your being able to read the crowd and move where needed will be appreciated. STATIONARY PERFORMERS: The floor of the hall will be used for resource agencies needing to converse with guests and for the other services mentioned above. The goal here is to provide an uplifting interval to our guests’ day while they reconnect and enjoy a time of respite. Musical performers and visual acts (jugglers, dancers) in need of a set space and with a moderate volume level will be given space on the main floor, next to the Auditorium Stage. Your performance would be out of the goodness of your heart, as I have no budget, however we expect around 1,000 guests and perhaps as many volunteers so while this is a charity event, it would give your group exposure to a wide audience of possible future clients. Scheduling now for: 1 hour slots Venue- Cleveland Public Auditorium, Main Lobby and/or Main Hall Sound, etc.- Bring own sound system and electrical extension cords; only electrical outlets available Parking- Volunteers will help you unload before parking. I will verify if there will be parking passes Do you think you could join us? Please let me know ASAP and feel free to share the info with other generous entertainers! *Thank You,* *Sue* *Sue Kirschner* *Youth Literacy and Outreach Manager* Cuyahoga County Public Library *Administrative Offices* 2111 Snow Road / Parma, Ohio 44134-2728 *p *216.749.9533 / *f* 216.485.9851 *cuyahogalibrary.org <http://www.cuyahogalibrary.org/>*
