Thanks for Making Saturday Night Special

Dear Friends,


"Oh what a night!" That's what I heard from scores of people who attended the packed world premiere of Raising Cane. From Annie Wenz's scintillating musical prayer with her rivercane flute, to the great discussion by Cherokee experts and conservationists and the party in the lobby featuring the vibes of the Apple Country String Band, it was a special event.


If you weren't able to make it, there will be future screenings including next month at the Tryon International Film Festival (see upcoming events at the end of this email.)


Whether you were there in person or in spirit, I am grateful for your support!


Our Helene Radio Documentary on the Air for the Second Anniversary

Raising Cane featured in Laurel of Asheville

Our award-winning radio documentary, FROM HELENE AND BACK - Nature's Wakeup Call, will be airing on consecutive mornings this week from September 22 to September 25 just after the 10:00 am hour on WTZQ.


The documentary features Helene survivors, family members of the Great Flood of 1916, flood and landslide experts and more to tell the story of not only the devastation but lessons learned, so Helene can be our wake-up moment, rather than our "business as usual" amnesia episode.


Tune in to WTZQ 95.3 FM, 1600 AM or streaming online at WTZQ.COM
