Pi Day 2013 Santa Fe

Pi Day at Cerletti Park

March 14 (3/14) is Pi Day (3.14) and Einstein’s birthday. It is celebrated and recognized in New Mexico and all over the Country. It is a fun and educational day celebrating the magic and math of pi and the food pie.  In Santa Fe, Hand Pi LLC would like to help direct this pun and fun-filled geek and food celebration toward a charitable end, such as the Food Bank or feeding the needy.

Hand Pi proposes an event at Fountainhead Rock as a first step to establishing a neighborhood ‘Helping Hand’ (Hand Pi) organization and a helping tradition (Pi Day). Our goal is to create a mini-park to memorialize Mike Cerletti at Fountainhead Rock Place and to acknowledge the art of Tomas Lipps and all stonemasons. In doing so we will be honoring the history of both the street and the values of the person, Don Gaspar.

The basic idea is to set up a table at Fountainhead Rock and another table set up at one of the various locations outside the Water Street Parking lot during part of each day for a week. Two tables, one for information/organizing and another for demonstrations, activities, games, and a neighborhood bake sale. Some of the named locations are: Turtle Rock, Stone Chess Table, Stonemasons’ Monument, Stone Benches and Fountainhead Rock.
