Hello RUSH singers - here is a reminder of our next RUSH, on
Sunday November 8th in the Pelham Community Center
(see
http://sconant.net/rush/commctr.html for how to get there),
with an optional potluck at 6 and singing (whoopee!) at 7.
And two days later there is going to be a concert which really
sounds great, and includes several of our RUSH people, and besides,
it is for a wonderful cause. Here is the notice about it:
Health Care is a Right! Sing Out for Single Payer!
Come to a fantastic folk concert to benefit the education fund of Mass-Care:
The Massachusetts Campaign for Single Payer Health Care.
The concert will feature valley folksingers: Tracy Grammer & Jim Henry,
Charlie King, Pat & Tex LaMountain, Jay Mankita, Annie Patterson,
Sarah Pirtle, Roger Tincknell, and Peter Blood - MC.
There will also be brief remarks by Benjamin Day,
Executive Director of Mass-Care, and Kate Atkinson, M.D.
Bring your whole family!
