One of the things I look forward to the most in December is the Calling All Crows service project and concert! Calling All Crows is the non-profit charitable foundation created by my favorite singer Chad Stokes, of State Radio and Dispatch. I love the Chad and his family always participate in the service project. It's always nice to know that the person you admire is actually a good person and volunteers for his own charity. This year the service project featured four stations.
We wrote letters for Amnesty International
Made blankets for Rosie's Place
Signed a petition for Oxfam and got to hear a Syrian refugee speak about his experience in the US (this was extra special because he was the father of a former student and I had chills listening to him speak.)
And we participated in a bystander training. After all of that Chad and some friends sang acoustic for us!
Later that night, we headed back to the Paradise for the full concert. Chad's shows are always so good! Here's hoping there are more in shows in 2019 to go to!
