March Meeting: Kupenda Fundraiser March 14th, 8pm

[Anna]

hey all: this is what we will be doing for our March meeting.

Three of our Cohort members are directly involved in this, so rather
than having a separate meeting this month, we will be heading down to
Newton to support our brothers and sisters and their awesome
organization Kupenda, and in the process listen to some great music
and have some time for conversation and coffee.
I'll send out more info later as to where we can meet to travel there
together. But mark your calendars!

Here's the info:


The First Baptist Church of Newton hosts a monthly coffeehouse
featuring different musicians from the area. The coffeehouse hosts a
variety of artists whose work ranges from folk, jazz and roots-rock to
gospel, world music and more, performing in a unique and inviting
setting in our church.

This night will include mostly acoustic guitar playing and some
original music. Featured musicians will include Ric Allendorf, Andrew
Bauer, Charley Eastman, The Newton Baptist Youth Choir, Joe Tang,
Julie-Ann Bauer, and Cynthia Bauer.

On Friday March 14th at 8PM, First Baptist Church of Newton will host
a Kupenda musician night for their coffeehouse. Cost is $10 per person
before show if purchased at the church and $12 at the door. Half of
the ticket price will go to the church and the other half will go to
Kupenda. All additional donations will go to support children with
disabilities in the Malindi district of Kenya. Please check the
website site for further details. We have a few musicians lined up but
are still open to the possibility of others who would be interested in
donating their time and talents. Please contact kup...@kupenda.org if
you have an interest in helping to put on this event. Otherwise we
would love to see you there. Cindy will be playing guitar and singing
a couple songs in the middle of the event with a short description of
Kupenda's mission.

The coffee house is located at the church which is in the heart of
Newton Centre, at the corner of Beacon and Centre Streets. The address
is 848 Beacon Street, Newton Centre, MA 02459. There is a parking lot
behind the church as well as street parking and the Newton Centre
parking lot "Triangle" diagonally across the street.
