Forwarded on behalf of the ad hoc committee:

 

Organized at the last minute for all of us who are not going to DC January 20th.  Come downtown beginning at 5:30!   The "ad hoc committee" wanted to have some way to mark this historic event locally as a community. (There is also a semi-formal ball at the Classic Center later in the evening sponsored by the Athens Human Relations Council.  Contact the Classic Center for ticket information )

Hope to see everyone there!

Jeff Dantzler's arrests may be the best thing that ever happened to him

This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle.
