I want to share a special event with all of you: Concert for Kosovo. This Boston, MA event will raise money for 3 organizations that are doing great work for refugees in the Balkans: Oxfam America, International Rescue Committee, and Physicians for Human Rights. This concert is brought to you by Club Passim, the legendary Harvard Square folk music mecca. On Thursday, August 19th at 7:30 pm Club Passim will present Concert for Kosovo at Harvard University's Sanders Theater. You can buy tickets RIGHT NOW by calling 617-496-2222 (Tue-Sat, 12-6pm). Tickets cost: $22.50, $30.00, and $37.50 The evening will feature an amazing lineup of artists. Five O'Clock Shadow - a capella like you have never heard it! Walter Robinson and his Gospel Ensemble - hand-clapping, foot-stomping gospel Greg Greenway - fabulous folk Zabe i Babe - Balkan folk music, featuring Balkan vocals in overdrive. Plus, two surprise guests! Trust me - they're great. One is a headliner at this year's Newport Folk Festival; the other is a ten time Boston Music Award winner. 100% of the proceeds will benefit three humanitarian and relief organizations in Boston that are working to rebuild Kosovo and provide assistance to the individuals affected so deeply by this crisis.

Whilst deploring the events that took place in kosovo, i feel that more of your efforts should go towards helping the serbian people who were bombed by the combined forces of natzo. the soon to be indicted war criminals william jefferson clinton and anthony blair have said the people of serbia will have no help from the international community until they have ousted mr. slobodan milosovich. he was democratically elected to office by a larger percentage of the serbian people who at that time included the kosovan albanians than either president william jefferson clinton or anthony blair. to oust him before the country's election would involve a bloody revolution, would you want that to happen in your own democratic republic? Thousands of serbians men women and children were killed by natzo as were roma ,albanians, kosovo albanians, hungarians, chinese, iraqi's and other ethnically diverse cultures who lived and died in serbia's provinces. further thousands have been environmentally damaged and financially damaged as a result of the bombing of the bridges in belgrade and elsewhere, downstream of serbia thousands of non belligerents from independent countries are likewise being injured environmentally and financially. no help is being afforded these people who bleed as readily as you or I * Sent from RemarQ http://www.remarq.com The Internet's Discussion Network * The fastest and easiest way to search and participate in Usenet - Free!
