Presenting an American Original, Jim Hightower, at the White Dog Cafe and U of Penn Campus - Reserve Now, for September 19!
On September 19, from 3-5 PM at Philadelphia's White Dog Cafe, on the Penn University campus, we are in for a real treat -- a wine and fine foods reception, with Jim Hightower. If you haven't heard Jim speak, or met him, he is one of the funniest and best-informed people in America today. His book, Thieves in High Places - They've Stolen Our Country and It's Time To Take It Back!, is now on the nonfiction bestseller list. Hightower is a genuine Texas populist, just the antidote to "you-know-who."
Jim will appear at a fundraiser for a people's action alliance in Philadelphia, led by Business Leaders for Sensible Priorities, at the White Dog Cafe, 3420 Sansom Street, 3:00 PM on Friday. Wine, fresh beverages, and hors d'eouvres will be served. Judy Wicks, Business Leader Co-Chair, will personally welcome us to the event, and we will discuss with Jim his ideas, and his book, which will be for sale at the Black Cat Bookstore next door. In addition, we will hear from Jeff Westphal, on "Co-Action," a budding alliance of peace and justice people, about what we can do to help fulfill our shared vision for this country, for world peace and global security. Jeff is a member of our advisory board, and leading businessman, CEO of a company listed as the one with the "highest job satisfaction in Pennsylvania," for its participatory workplace policies, so Jeff "walks the talk."
The cost is $35, for a good time and a good cause. Contribute to the fall program, if you are able, as well -- call Ed at 215-247-3066, Vivian at 610-279-4290, to reserve via one easy phone call.
Now, if that's a little rich for your blood, we also have this Penn Campus event lined up that day:
Special Free Public Event -- Penn Campus -- 5:30, Penn law building.
First, at 5 PM, you can come meet Jim Hightower at the Black Cat Bookstore, 3424 Sansom, where you can get the book at a 10% discount. At 5:30, we will cross the street and hear him speak at a free, donation-only student community event, at Penn law, 3411 Sansom Street, 5:30-7:00 PM. (give what you can -- we're encouraging $10 donations)
