It's that time again. Pride Month will soon be over and organizers of the pink triangle installation atop Twin Peaks need volunteers to help dismantle the canvas and sailcloth borders.

The "farewell" to the 28th iteration of the pink triangle will be Saturday, July 1, from 9 a.m. to noon, said Patrick Carney, a gay man and co-founder of the project. People can stop by anytime within those hours. Additional help is needed Sunday, July 2, from 11 a.m. to noon to unload the canvass from a truck at a storage warehouse in Oakland.

"It's a great option for East Bay residents," Carney noted.

Carney stated that "fashionable pink triangle T-shirts will be provided to all who help."

Interested volunteers should bring gloves and wear closed-toe shoes.
