update(+) the
"Curtain of Origami Whales"
(+ to the current estimated number
of whales killed since 1986) `*``*```*````*`````*``````*`````*````*```*``*`


* Learn to make origami whales, simple and fun for everyone (children of all ages love this!). All are welcome to help add to the curtain with a basic hand-stitching method; kind of like a "quilting bee" to help the whales. All materials provided. Refreshments will be served. Please RSVP.
When: 5th of December (Saturday) 12:30-5PM
Where: The Treasure Hunt, 919 Maple Ave.,
Carpinteria, CA 93013

Everyone worldwide is invited to participate in the Origami Whales Project. You can help by making Origami Whales to add to the curtain. Click here for folding diagrams and instructions.

• There are numerous e-mail actions that you can take to protest against whaling. Please click here for information or refer to the links in the lefthand column and bottom of this page.
• Please check back for updates on the exhibits of the "Curtain of 34,000 Origami Whales".
• If your school or group would like to participate by making and sending origami whales to add to the curtain, please contact Peggy Oki.
