COMBO Member Laurie Dameron sends her Simple Action of the Month to Save Our Planet:
Designate “No Drive” days. Idle your car as little as possible. Idling puts out much more CO2 than when driving. Also, don’t use drive-throughs! [Besides, the walking will be good for YOU!]
.
Reports have it that the attendance at the Voltage Vintage Expo, Guitar Show, and Radio Collectors Club was phenomenal. So good to have these events back again. We’ll be posting more later as well as a photo of the winner of the guitar-themed quilt we gave away! Thank you all for attending and supporting COMBO and the shows/expos!
.
Sorry we missed it! The Women+Film Festival presented “Sirens” – On the outskirts of Beirut, Lilas and Shery, co-founders and guitarists of the Middle East’s first all-female metal band, wrestle with friendship, sexuality, and destruction in their pursuit of becoming thrash metal rock stars. Maybe they’ll present it again! | https://womenplusfilmfestival.eventive.org/schedule/
