About the musical: "Straight from its Broadway run, and inspired by the true-life experience of its star George Takei and his family, Allegiance reveals their extraordinary journey in this untold American story following Pearl Harbor. Their loyalty was questioned, their freedom taken away, but their spirit could never be broken. This special event also features Tony Award®-winner Lea Salonga and includes behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with the cast and crew."

Best Wishes to Peace and Anti-War Activists,
Dawn! is calling for a Demonstration on December 17, 2017 at 1pm on the corner of Stroop and Far Hills.
Let us continue our efforts to stop military intervention when other, more peaceful, alternatives are available.
The history of U.S. intervention in the Middle East, including the intervention by the European powers has led us the problems we now face.
I will be on DATV with Karen Tracey on Tuesday, December 20 at 6pm. I will go into detail on the history of Western intervention in the Middle East.

Subject: We are launching an effort to bring a full-service market to lower Salem Ave. in Dayton! Will you join the effort?
You are receiving this email because you gave us your contact information when you filled out a survey about your grocery shopping needs and preferences earlier this year. Thank you so much for participating!
Over 1100 Daytonians shared their thoughts, and the results were overwhelmingly positive. We've been hard at work ever since incorporating your feedback into a business plan for a community-driven, economically viable store!
GOOD NEWS: Based on your feedback, we are preparing to launch a community share campaign to bring a full-service grocery store to the city of Dayton! Community members will own shares of the store, giving all of us a concrete voice in major decisions about everything from strategy direction, to selection at our store.
Currently we are working on the initial details of the store, the campaign, and how the community can get involved and help make this happen.
Click here to stay in the loop, learn about opportunities to help with the project, and receive our newsletter by joining our support team!
The Greater Dayton Union Co-operative Initiative is a non-profit cooperative incubator for the Dayton area dedicated to developing cooperatives that create good jobs and fill community needs.
