Jim Herrmann
Remember that this What Would Woody Do event is a fund raiser for some great progressive groups in the area. Time is running out to get tickets at the advanced ticket price, so act now. Go to Brown Paper Tickets and purchase your tickets now!
Also, if your progressive group would like to table at this event, just contact me. We'll provide the table, you just need to bring your fliers and banners. All we ask for a tabling fee is that those people tabling buy a ticket for the show, so there is really no extra cost. Some of your favorite groups are already signed up to attend. Don't be left out! Let me know that you are coming to table, and I will reserve a table for you and also hold a ticket for you at the advanced ticket price.
This is a family friendly event. Children under 12 get in FREE with parent's admission!
Since this event is co-sponsored by Cross Currents Peace and Justice Council, if you are a member of any Cross Currents Councils then like all CCC events, you can get the advanced ticket price at the door. You'll also be able to sign up with the Cross Currents Peace and Justice Council at the door.
The Kansas Progressive Caucus will also be signing up people to make the progressive voice heard in the big red state of Kansas!
All the event info is below. See you Saturday!
Peace,

About WWWD
Woody Guthrie wrote many social
conscience and activist songs, and if he were alive today, he would
certainly have plenty of material. Woody would stand up with the
workers. Woody would work for peace and justice. Woody would fight
against the Corporatists. Woody would want us all to do what's right.
What Would Woody Do? (WWWD) is a way for local songwriters to have
their activist songs heard, and for local activists to hear new songs
of social conscience, like Woody would write if he were still alive
today. WWWD has been approved by the Woody Guthrie Foundation.
The WWWD Players
The WWWD Players are a group
of local songwriters who write songs with a social conscience. They'll
make you laugh, cry, tap your feet, clap your hands, sing along, and if
they do their job right, they will inspire you to go out and make the
world a better place. Woody would be proud of these singer songwriters.
Please get out to see these players whenever and wherever they play.

WWWD is Sponsored by Democracy For the Heart of America at http://dfha.org and
