Greensburg, Kansas Fundraiser Next Week in Kansas City
To follow up on Shirley’s post about The Good Fight… next week, the Kansas City chapter of AIGA will hold a fundraiser for Greensburg, Kansas’ efforts to rebuild (and rebuild green at that). According to the organization’s web site:
Simran Sethi, host of the Sundance Channel’s The Green will moderate a panel on the green redesign of tornado devastated Greensburg, KS. The green salon will feature BNIM Architects’ urban planner, Stephen Hardy and Greentown director, Daniel Wallach. The Sundance Channel will screen segments from The Good Fight Series.
Tickets are only $15, are no one will be turned away for lack of funds… The cocktail reception preceding the forum will feature food and drink from Blue Bird Bistro (and I’ve eaten there… it’s really good!), Eden Alley Cafe, Local Burger, Benzinger Family Estates winery, and New Belgium Brewery. The fun begins at 5:30 pm on April 17th at the Scarritt Building Ballroom in Kansas City. All funds raised will go to Greensburg GreenTown.
I’m heading over to cover the event, so please say “Hi!” if you’re decide to come…

my name is Earlene Smith, I just wanted to tell you ,
my husband was driving thru (drives a semi truck) the night of that terrible tornado. He survived the tornado (thank GOD) but the rig was totaled. we’ve been suffering ever sense. He is no longer able to drive,because an insurance policy he thought would protect his rig in the case of a loss failed to do so.
i pray you all have much success in your efforts this week end. those people lost everything.we lost too, but I can’t thank god enough for keeping him safe that night.
Thank you for sharing your story, Earlene… very best of luck to you and your husband.
