[Peace] John Lee Johnson benefit

[Kranich, Kimberlie]

Long time radio host and community activist, John Lee Johnson, is very sick
after recovering from four surgeries (two were emergency surgeries). The
News-Gazette's coverage of his health does not convey that he is hanging on
for dear life.
 
John Lee has been an activist for 40 years.  He has made C-U a better place
because of his involvement.  His interview radio show on WEFT, "Higher
Ground," is always thought provoking and challenging.  
 
Please keep him in your prayers (if you pray) and consider attending the
benefit mentioned below.  Please forward as appropriate.
 
Thanks,
Kimberlie
