Greetings!  

A few weeks ago Robert Dubac volunteered to perform a benefit show for Trust in Education on Saturday the 3rd of September at the Lesher theater in Walnut Creek. 

Why promote this early?

If pre- sales are strong enough for that night we will add another show on Friday the 2nd. 

There are 300 seats. If 150 friends bring a friend that fills the theater. Or if 75 couples induce a couple to join them, we can add the Friday night show.

For friends who are unfamiliar with TIE'S work, they can watch this Youtube video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVUErInF2tg  Mimi surprised me with this video and I've watched it more times than I am willing to admit. When listening to the song insert the pronoun "We" for "I". "We" made everything possible in that video over the past 18 years.

 TIE has eight computer libraries currently utilized by an average of 720 girls a day, six days a week. For girls beyond the sixth grade this may well be their only access to an education outside their home. In addition, the libraries enable the girls to "get out of the house", meet and socialize with one another. Afghan girls are afraid and often not permitted to leave their homes. That could be why the absentee rate 14 per day out of the 720. That is a 98% attendance rate.

Secondly we have 66 families currently being sponsored by families in the United States. The Afghan families receive $100 per month for a year. $100 is enough to feed a family of four for a month. These families know they will have a place to live and food to eat for a year. This program began last November after watching a report by CNN of parents selling their young daughter to support the other members of the family.

We just received good news about one widow who was being sponsored. She has married and the family no longer needs support.

This will be a very enjoyable night and it will make a difference in the lives of hundreds. Buy soon, seat selection will never be better and aisle seats go quickly.
