Hey Friends,Lets get together as a community and come out to show support as well as see the documentary about a mover and shaker in the world of ALS.
Thanks to Karen Wood,we found out the Steven Gleason movie is being shown for only a limited engagement at the Lowes Cinema. I suggest everyone come out to see it. It is an important movie that deserves support. We must show the media world there is an active, vibrant and large ALS community. We have to make it a financial success so others will be willing to tackle the subject matter.
I plan on attending the 5:30 showing on sunday the 14th. We will proudly wear our ALS Ride for Life t shirts to let the world know who we are and why we are at this movie. I suggest those of you who have a shirt from ALS Ride (or some ALS shirt) wear as it well.
Hope to see a hell of a crowd so, drag a friend or two with you! Let our voice be heard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is a second showing at 8:10pm for those unable to make the 5:30pm showing.
