Many many many people have been asking when Allen's service will be held. Here is the information.
Thursday August 13
1pm Transport Allen from Bangkok Pattaya Hospital to Wat Chai
3pm Bathig Rites
7pm Chanting and viewing sponsored by Asian University
Friday August 14
7pm Chanting and viewing sponsored by Friends of Allen Briggs
Saturday August 15
10am Feeding of the Monks
2pm Celebration begins with speakers, prayers, and music
3pm Monks arrive for cremation ceremony
4pm Celebration of Allen's life at Panorama
Tom from Cafe Royale will be handling the catering for the Celebration. He has promised us a fabulous buffet appropriate for this occasion. Tim of Panorama will make sure all runs smoothly. Hopefully all those who knew Allen, knew of Allen, or new friends who never knew of Allen will come to celebrate. Allen always was very welcoming to everyone and when he had his message board promoted Pattaya heavily.
Allen was a great planner. He was thoughtful and far sighted enough to actually have provided the funds through an insurance policy to Wayne Beard to pay the expenses of this final "Meet and Greet". Ken, Allen's boyfriend will be there to help you enjoy yourself and has invited many of his Thai friends. Allen choose this time so all of us could get a good start on a happy Thai weekend.
Please PM me if you have any comments or suggestions.
