Guatemala Human Rights Commission
Celebrate the first Friday of 2005 with the Guatemala Human Rights Commission (GHRC) at a benefit concert featuring the harmonies and song crafting of Cletus Kennelly and Lori Kelley. Proceeds will support the ongoing work of GHRC and the initiative to stem the brutal violence against women in Guatemala.
The concert is Friday, Jan. 7, at the Potter's House (1658 Columbia Rd. NW). The doors will open for light fare, coffee and desserts at 7 p.m.; the music starts at 8. The suggested donation is $10, and Guatemalan handicrafts will be available for sale.
