[Colorado-Talk] Fwd: We are With U! Concert for the Blind of Ukraine

[Kevan Worley]

 #wearewithu dear friends. We are the world! I am very excited about tomorrow’s concert event. What a wonderful thing that the blind community of the world is doing. And I’m looking forward to hearing some fine blind artist from our national Federation of the Blind performing arts division. Lots of talent in that crowd. So, beginning, mountain time at noon this Saturday. Find the stream somewhere and crank it up. Also, might be good to go online and throw in a few shekels to donate to the cause I will if you will. All of you social media friends and colleagues. Let’s share these announcements widely over the next several hours. What do you say? Also, great concert to play a drinking game. Every time you hear the word Blind. Not me. I am fasting over the weekend to celebrate Passover, Easter, Ramadan and health. Much love to all I hope each and everyone of our Federation family can enjoy some rest, worship, relaxation, good music, fun with family and some good times outdoors. The weather is fantastic! And just think, this coming Monday the next issue of the blind Coloradoan will be in your boxes. Read and understand!   Baseball is back. Live the life you want

At Your Service,
Kevan Worley
