House Party Featuring “Coal Country”

Linda and I, will be hosting a house party, Nov. 14, 2009, from 6 to 9 pm, at our house, on Mattville Road, in Glen Daniel, WV. We will be showing Mary-Lynn’s new documentary, “Coal Country”. There will be a discussion on how to get involved, and what you can do, to stop the devastation of Appalachia, by the coal industry method of mining, mountaintop removal. There will also be discussion of how we can diversify our region, with ideas of bringing new jobs to our communities. We encourage everyone coming, to bring your ideas with you, so everyone participates in open discussions, on what we need to do, to bring prosperity to our region.  Our discussions will be very broad, covering things such as protecting our environment, our water, our homeland, and our way of living. We will be talking about impacts mountaintop removal has on us all, and also about how everyone is connected to the devastation, that is eliminating an entire culture of people. We hope to accomplish, to motivate, and energize people, to speak out, and how to take action, and that people’s voices will be heard. You know the saying, “a contented person, will never bring about change”. This is your chance to bring change to our communities, and we will be discussing just how we do that. It will be a very entertaining, and educating evening. We welcome all who would like to attend, and all who hasn’t got involved, but wants to. Here’s your chance, and there is no better, or more crucial time as now, so please come, with intentions of joining in, and sharing your opinions. See you Nov. 14th. Please call (304)934-0399, if you plan on attending, and for directions.
