Hi Neighbors,
House Concert 7 pm (sharp) on Friday, June 2, with a second set at 8:30 pm.
Join Mark Rauterkus and family (Catherine Palmer, Erik & Grant) in
hosting friends, family, neighbors, bloggers, strangers and fellow
music lovers from school, church, labor and sports – and perhaps
politics too, at their home and office:
108 South 12th Street, South Side, Pittsburgh.
RSVP is necessary as space is limited to 35 seats.
Call 412 298 3432 or email Mark@Rauterkus.com
Kids who can sit and enjoy the concert are welcomed (first set).
Mark Rauterkus, community activist, techie, swim coach and
ex-publisher is gathering workers to launch a new campaign for the
November ballot in the general election as candidate for PA Senate,
42nd district as an INDEPENDENT.
Joe Jencks, singer/songwriter, plays guitar and is equally talented as
the other excellent performers hosted in the past. Joe's original
music and ballads are for the everyday, modern workers with many union
songs, tunes of history, struggle, rails, fast-food workers, Rosie the
Riveter (Revised), John Henry and even the Deportee.
Joe is on tour with his latest CD, Rise As One.
Artist donations accepted. CDs for sale.
The next release of the Mark@Rauterkus.Com CD might include the Joe
Jencks tune(s): "We Won" and/or "We Do the Work." Help us decide.
Joe Jencks has been the WINNER of many Folk Festival Songwriting
contests: 2005: Plowshares, Songwriting Contest; South Florida Folk
Festival Songwriting Contest. Winner 2004: Winfield Music Festival
Songwriting Contest. Winner 2004 and 2003 Tumbleweed, Folk Festival
Songwriting Contest.
On Saturday, the day after our House Concert, everyone is encouraged
to consider attending a "free seminar" called, Labor's Lost Legacy,
with Dan Sullivan as instructor to be held at the Friends Meeting
House (4836 Ellsworth Ave) from 10 am to 1 pm. See
http://www.SavingCommunities.org/seminars/laborbirth.html for a full
outline and insights.
Dan is about to start his own tour -- injecting information for
hatching and proposed policies of PA Governor candidates, Swann,
Rendell and Russ Diamond (Independent). The PROPERTY TAX REFORM
efforts are buzzing -- but seemingly without a rudder -- and Dan has
many insights (for progressives and even conservatives) that make
sense, IMNSHO.
Dan will be at our event and say a few short words about his mission
and the seminar. And, after the concert --- we'll have more to explore
about the lyrics and real-world applications together.Expect a time of
reflection after the concert's sets.

Later this summer:
- We'll hold our open house on the 4th of July, and we'll talk a LOT
about TECHNOLOGY then.
- I'm going to help with the No Sweatshop Bucco -- Pirate Armada on
the rivers when the All-Star Game is in town.
- Helping with nomination papers for ballot access for the PA Senate
is welcomed too. The incumbent should NOT be given a free ride.
- Meetings about the now closed indoor ice rink are pending.
- Hat tip: Langley HS baseball hits the PIAA playoffs next week - and
today Langley's music director gets an award from the UPMC Musician
Hearing Center, with $1,000!
Thanks for help passing the word and for all you do in our community.
Ta.
