Dr. Newborn conveys the importance of the White Rose as role models--while presenting a multicultural array of special people he calls White Rosers today who risk themselves in the fight for freedom and our shared humanity. The ultimate message, whether for audience of all ages: be UPstanders, not BYstanders!	$501- $1000
Benas, Jeanne	Lightening Likenesses- caricatures by Jeanne A Benas	Performing Arts- Other, Visual Arts- Drawing, Visual Arts- Cartooning	I draw quick, 3-minute color caricatures of the people in the audience. I can draw between 15- 20 people per hour. These are done in pastel on 11"x17" paper, and rolled and tied with a colorful ribbon. I can pre-print my paper with a logo or a little body for themed events. It serves not only as something fun to watch for everyone, but also as a souvenir of the event for each person I draw. Caricatures can easily accompany other events, or can stand by themselves for a kind of learning experience.	$201- $350
!, Spook Handy	Passing Along the Folk Music Tradition	History, Music, Performing Arts- Other	For generations children grew up singing with the whole family, at large gatherings, at school or in their churches. Before the advent of radio, TV and the internet this was the primary form of entertainment. Today, however, many people are worried that this centuries-old tradition is being deleted from the hard drive of the modern human experience. Along with that, society is losing one of the most powerful tools for building strong families and strong communities. This program is simple. Let’s make sure our kids know some of the treasures of American Folk Music. Singing old favorites like This Land is Your Land, If I had a Hammer, I’ve been Working on the Railroad, She'll be coming Around the Mountain and maybe some newer songs. If the children don’t already know a song we’ll take the time to teach them. Parents are encouraged to sit with their children and help them learn the songs. An excellent program for Libraries, Arts Centers, Churches, Schools and other meeting places. Pete Seeger covers some of Spook's songs and the two perform together several times per year. Visit www.spookhandy.com for more info on the artist and other programs and workshops.	$501- $1000

McIntosh, Story Laurie	Around the World in An Afternoon	Multicultural- Other, Music, Performing Arts- Storytelling	Starting with a folk tale from the small island nation of Haiti, I will take students on an imaginary journey across the Atlantic, where they will meet characters commonly found in European and African folklore. We will continue our journey around the globe, with a stop in Asia, then the South Seas and finally back home to the United States. As we travel, we will talk about why people tell stories, and explore why similar stories appear in a different cultures around the world. During the 30-60 minute concert (program length and repertoire adjustable to suit your scheduling and curricular needs), listeners will be active participants in the program, both as an audience who delights in the magic of stories and songs from such a wide variety of cultures, and as “explorers” who help me answer questions about the tradition of storytelling and the stories themselves. At turns hilarious and serious, Story Laurie magically glides from one character to the next, employing her marvelous vocal skills, gestures and facial expressions. Perfect for libraries, schools and community events -- Laurie has a knack for enchanting both young and old equally!	$201- $350
