Hello everyone,

I know it has been a long time since you have heard from us, however I wanted to post in response to the death of George Floyd, at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer.

Furthermore, I hope you are all staying safe and healthy during these unprecedented times.

In these times of uncertainty, we look to those who are standing up to the injustice that is happening in our country.

With that being said, I want to post a couple of links to organizations where you can donate, if you choose, to help those who are being arrested while participating in the protests.

Stay safe, and continue fighting.

- Georgia

WEATHER UPDATE AND IMPORTANT DETAILS FOR JANUARY 19TH, 2019:

The event is still happening and we appreciate all of the cooperation and help.

For those of you wondering about the impending weather and the status of the event; the event is still happening with clear skies until 3 pm. We have numerous speakers on diverse topics.

For those of you travelling from far away; please drive safe to and from the event and the address is 11 E Church St Bethlehem, PA. If you have any last minute questions tomorrow, my phone will be on me and I will answer you ASAP.

It is going to be windy, it is going to be cold. Please dress warm! The high is 34 degrees with 7 mph winds.

There will most likely be limited street parking, so the closest parking garage is the Walnut St Parking Garage. There are meters on the street, but limited parking.

The Bethlehem Public Library is open from 10 am to 5 pm with p***c restrooms available. Across the street from Payrow Plaza is the Church St Market. I will find out if they take credit card. For what it is worth, for those of you that have Apple Pay, they take that.

Just a reminder that you are only allowed to stand on Payrow Plaza. The City of Bethlehem is allowing us access to the Plaza and the plaza only. If you stand on the sidewalk during the event, you will be violating the permit and code by the city. You are allowed to go across the street to the market, but you may not stand for long.

We look forward to a wonderful turnout tomorrow. Thank you again to all of the speakers and organizations that have helped us along the way.

A special thanks to Karen Hicks and Tara Zrinski; I truly could not have done this without you two.
