Reconcilation out of Agitation

Greetings ROOTS members!


I have a question for you. Last Spring when the local theater in my community which is called
The Prince, announced it was producing a new play about the history of
Chestertown MD with a similar subject to the outdoor 1777 reenactment play that
is performed outside every year at the Tea Party Festival, I had a question.

 

How can you as a community theater, be preparing a new play
about freedom and equality without recognizing African American history and
presence in this community?

Jo Carson, a founding member of Alternate ROOTS, is in the midst of a pitched battle with colon cancer.

Jo has been a self-supporting artist for more than 30 years.  Since quality, affordable health insurance is extremely difficult for independent artists to obtain, the insurance coverage Jo has is utterly insufficient to her current need – her policy will cover her surgery, but not the extensive chemotherapy and radiation she is currently under-going.

You can help by making a donation through ROOTS to Jo's Medical Expenses Campaign.  Please click here to make that important contribution.

Donate Air Miles to ROOTS

Hello ROOTERS,

If you attended the Annual Meeting, you may remember that among other suggestions that could help ROOTS, we suggested that members could donate frequent flyer miles. This would allow us to do the necessary travel to raise funds for programs and services, and save money in our budget!

Please contact us at the office if you or someone you know has extra miles you'd like to share.

Thanks for your continued support.
