“ENDING CHILD POVERTY NOW”
Wednesday, October 5
7:00 p.m. at the
Thomas Wolfe Auditorium, US Cellular Center, Asheville
Pisgah Legal Services presents a forum for donors and community members to bring attention to the plight of children living in poverty across the nation and here in our mountain region.
This year, we are thrilled to host Marian Wright Edelman, who will present on issues of child poverty and share the Children’s Defense Fund’s new report “Ending Child Poverty Now.”
Edelman is a graduate of Spelman College and Yale Law School. She was the first black woman admitted to the Mississippi Bar and directed the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund office in Jackson, Mississippi.
She has received more than 100 honorary degrees and many awards including the Albert Schweitzer Humanitarian Prize, the Heinz Award, a MacArthur Foundation Prize Fellowship, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian award, and the Robert F. Kennedy Lifetime Achievement Award.
We invite you and your friends, family, and colleagues to join us for this special and inspiring evening. Tickets are just $15/person and can be purchased by calling Brent McKnight at 828-210-3405 or online at http://bit.ly/PovertyForum2016.
The Trolley Company has generously sponsored complimentary transportation to and from the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium for 40 people. It will leave at 5:30 from the Ingles in the Laurel Park Shopping Center. It’s first come, first serve. Reserve your seat now by contacting Eleanor Ashton at Eleanor@pisgahlegal.org or 828-210-3443.

Call for Letters-to-Editors Writers
We encourage any and all Democrats to write letters-to-editors of their favorite publications, especially in the run up to the November 8 election. Our letters-to-editors team leader, Dawn Kucera, sends out an email occasionally with ideas for letters and where to send them for all of our local publications. If you wish to be on Dawn's email list, please contact her at dawnkucera@mac.com. Please note that joining Dawn's email list does not obligate you to write a letter; it just gets you her ideas--maybe one will inspire you!
