Hope stands tall in City Hall

Attendees gathered around the Rainbow World Fund's World Tree of Hope in the San Francisco City Hall Rotunda at the lighting ceremony Monday, December 4. Speakers included gay author Armistead Maupin, and there was a performance by the San Francisco Boys Chorus. Volunteers helped the Rainbow World Fund, an LGBT humanitarian nonprofit, decorate the tree with origami cranes containing messages of hope, peace, and global unity.
