lamp lit shops are filled to overflowing with Christmas presents.
The Great Dickens Christmas Fair offers a sampling of the finest in musical,
dance, magic and novelty acts, an outrageous Christmas pantomime, characters
from Alice in Wonderland, Punch & Judy puppet shows and of course, Mad Sal's
Dockside Alehouse where patrons can join in singing rowdy favorites or watch the

popular, roguish production of the “Saucy French Postcard Tableaux Review”

This performance is in Celebration of the Season and the purchase of the
Salmon Creek Watershed by The Conservation Fund www.conservationfund.org which
will afford community involvement and stewardship. The evening will include
forest management strategies and a portion of the proceeds will go to the Albion
Community to continue to protect the local watershed and ecosystems. Oh My
Goddess! is is for mature audiences and does contain brief, tasteful nudity.
(Yum!)
Sherry Glaser builds on her reputation for superb writing and
characterization in Oh My Goddess! This acclaimed satire is a potent antidote to the critical
global condition. Glaser unravels two multi-faceted, contrary characters
using simple stories that offer a vision of hope for self and world
transformation. Human behavior can change according to Glaser in this timely and topical
comedy. Intelligent and sophisticated,
"Oh My Goddess" tells the story of a dreamer; Miguel De Cervantes, whose
search to find his purpose in life, leads him to become the channel for the return
of the Great Jewish Mother of us all. Glaser takes on the entire
Judeo-Christian belief system based on Patriarchy and reminds us that the return of the
mother is at hand. It is a hilarious/touching one woman play that contains
brief, tasteful nudity and adult, political & feminist themes. Ms. Glaser recently
performed this updated version of "Oh My Goddess!" San Francisco to sold out
audiences. Sherry is although author and star of Off-Broadway's "Family Secrets"
Writer and performer, Sherry Glaser, delivers an exceptionally funny, tour de
force performance for which she receives standing ovations. "Exceptional
comedic flair, and a genius for characterization that you're not likely to see
surpassed this side of Lily Tomlin." - James Brady, The Coast Weekly
Author & activist Paul Hawken wrote: "Sherry dives into everyday life and
lifts you into the realm of joyous, belly-splitting laughter that sends audiences
into fits of giggles. The progressive movement has found their comedic muse
and she rocks!"

When Deepak Chopra's Alliance for New Humanity held the Power of Oneness
Conference in Puerto Rico in December, 2005, Chopra used the imaginal cell concept
from her book in their promo. It was also used by Barbara Marx Hubbard as
the theme to "Conscious Evolution" and by Elisabeth Sahtouris in her work. The
Institute of Noetic Science conducted a two year research study from 1998-2000
on patterns of transformation based on people's real-life personal stories.
Their report was entitled "What the Butterfly Knows" and used Norie's model in a
sidebar called "Wired for Wings." You can view that article at
www.noetic.org/publications/review/issue52/r52_Thompson.html
Norie is looking forward to meeting you and learning more about you – and
about "who we all are together." She believes that we're reaching a “Good News"
level of clumping and clustering. Her hope is that by coming together more
closely and in some new and wonderful ways, "we'll be able to take a great leap
together into a whole new acceleration of transformational activity and
evolution.” We both invite you to join us in making this happen.
We especially encourage people who are facilitators of networks of
"transformationalists" to join us at this event, and share the work that you and your
network are doing and what you need to take your work to the next level.
Following the meeting we will be entertained by Laramie Crocker & Wendi
Olsen. Laramie's website is www.laramiecrocker.com
This event benefits Musicians & Fine Artists for World Peace and Norie
Huddle's Center for New National Security and is sponsoed by Soundwave Studios

Sat. Jan. 6 5pm-12am **Butterfly Gathering, Potluck & Benefit Concert -

For those of you who pay attention to dates and symbolism, January 6th is
the Epiphany. We'll share our stories, and Norie (and others) will pass along
additional ideas and stories that are useful for organizing and sharing the
Good News. This will be followed by a potluck supper and Celebration Party, with
music and dancing until midnight. A number of very talented musicians and
artists will be sharing their music and art with us.
