In order to have a peaceful and successful event, and to show our pride as
Chinese (or Chinese friends) to the community, please follow the rules below:

* This is a non-political and non-religious charity event.  We deeply feel sorry
for those victims and want to help them effectively.  That is our primary and
only goal.  No flags are allowed and let's keep it as quiet as possible.

* Banners and signs from participating organizations are allowed only for
display, and need to be hung on the fence surrounding the tennis court in
Boston Common.

* Bring your own umbrella, raincoat or cap since there is a T-storm at the
Saturday weather forecast.

* No cooking, no selling food.  Water will be provided but no lunch or other
food.

* No sticks on the ground.

* One policeman and two park rangers will be on-site with us.

* Please enter from the visitor information center on Tremont Street to unload
and load your musical equipments, and miscellaneous set-ups around the
performance stage.

* Two portable toilets are available at the corner of the tennis court.

* Please keep the park as clean as possible.  Trash bags are available at
specific locations.

* Two reporters of CCTV are joining us from D.C., who will report this
significant event.

We look forwards to seeing you this Saturday!
