Announcing the Beautiful Alabama Rainbow Family 1998 Spring Counsel!



Held on the 1st Sunday of the new year (January 4th) at Palisades Park just North of Birmingham, Alabama. From Birmingham take I-59 North to exit 166. This is hwy 231. Go north thru Oneonta. Stay on 231 north for about 2 miles past Oneonta and look for the sign that says “Palisades Park” to the right. Take that road up to the park. Follow the rainbows! Go all the way to the back of the park. We have a large cabin reserved that sits right on a cliff edge overlooking a beautiful valley for a comfortable indoor counsel/potluck/drum circle. We have the use of the building for free for that one day from 9 am to 9 pm so come early!

We have found a very nice camping area on the beautiful Warrior river not far from Palisades Park. If you are interested in coming early and would like to camp please call 205-699-9712. Leave your name and phone number and we will get back to you with directions to the camping site. Please remember that it will be mid-January and camping on the river can get extremely cold(but probably not colder than 15 or 20 degrees at the low end)...so be prepared for cold weather!

Everyone is encouraged to attend this counsel. This is where we, as a family, will decide the direction of the family. Counsel Starts at noon and lasts for a hour or two then it’s food and fun the rest of the day! Palisades Park is a City park so be respectful to everyone and pack out what you pack in. There is strictly no alcohol, or drugs at this gathering so please don’t bring any.
