125. Coffee Strong (GI support) benefit 11/10

Purchase your tickets today to ensure your spot at our 5th Anniversary. No one will be turned away for lack of funds – contact us about scholarships. With only six days to go, our 5th Anniversary Celebration is shaping up to be our best yet. After selling out the Seattle Labor Temple for our 4th Anniversary we are excited to have:

•Former CIA officer and Army veteran Ray McGovern joining us as our keynote speaker. Ray recently joined other former intelligence officials who met with NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden in Russia and presented him with the annual Sam Adams Associates award for integrity in intelligence.

•Live and silent auctions, including a 12 month gelato subscription delivered to your home, “Choose Me” – an oil on canvass painting by Olympia artist and writer Alec Clayton, and design and development of a custom website by our friends at Eat Sleep Breathe Code.

•Quilt raffle, with a t-shirt quilt representing our region’s proud history standing up for the rights of the military and veteran community while challenging war and militarism.

Can’t attend but looking for ways to support our 5th Anniversary? Donate an item for our live or silent auction, or ask your faith community, union or small business to place an ad in the 5th Anniversary Dinner commemorative program. The deadline for program ad submissions has been extended to Monday November 4th.


In Solidarity,


Alex Bacon
Co-Director G.I. Voice/Coffee Strong

P.S. – We’re still looking for a couple more volunteers to help with registration, the silent auction, bar and our merchandise table. Contact Andrew Wright if you’re free to help on Sunday November 10th. [e-mail]
