Hey! Thanks for stopping in - the flyer below is a BIG deal to me, I'm hosting, it's going to be so so so great! Please read the email I sent to everyone I could:

You know I'm a big fan of sending out free tickets notices, but this time, I'd like to ask you to consider sharing your cash with some folks who need it. My cousin Shazia Khan recently founded a non-profit called EcoEnergyFinance to support energy solutions for rural coastal villages in Pakistan.

I know, I know, we have our own problems here, but hey - they don't have electricity, which means they don't have access to the internet, which means they only know what people tell them. I can share Shazia's project plans with you if you are interested. The primary solutions are wind and solar - in a place where the current fuel sources are cow dung and kerosene.

Think about it - in our country, poor boys in LA, CHI, NY join gangs as a potential opportunity to escape their desperate circumstances. In Pak, it's the same, unfortunately the "gang" is a bunch of lunatic radicals that want the US to engage in a war with them - to justify armageddon. For believers in religion that have desperate lives - the afterlife is a welcome alternative, and fighting in the name of God? Well there is no greater reward.

Me personally - I have a vested interest of course. With American career military first cousins in the USMC and USAF and first cousins in the Pak AF and Pak Army - you can only imagine my personal level of concern here. Shazia - is a smarty pants Smith grad, UVM JD in environmental law and has been at the World Bank in DC for 9 years. She knows what she's doing - and I trust her.

Flyer attached - GREAT Comedians, AND a silent auction - at the World Famous Improv Comedy Club and Dinner Theater! August 19th at the Denver Improv! If you aren't local, but would be willing to help out - please buy tickets online at www.improvdenver.com for the August 19th show!

ABOUT RUBI:

As a first generation Muslim woman of Pakistani descent, Rubi Nicholasis the antithesis of what one would expect with such a strong ethnic background. Born to a culture steeped in the tradition of the quiet, compliant female, Rubi breaks the mold. Far from choosing the typical life as an obedient wife, she has walked a variety of career paths, chosen a non-traditional family route and now, has succeeded in breaking even more rules.

Recently selected Nick@Nite’s “Funniest Mom in America,” a 6 episode nationally televised series featuring weekly eliminations based on comedic challenges, Rubi demonstrated that her unique point of view and warm, friendly style can bring together all people – through her charming sense of timing and clear charisma.

Rubi's humor incorporates her ethnic heritage, her family life as a corporate woman whose husband is a stay at home dad, and the antics of her two little girls. Her ability to weave together her story and allow the audience to experience her life while thinking about the ways in which we can all find common ground is a remarkable experience. From parents to parenting, culture clashes to kids, Rubi understands what makes us laugh.
