Friday, November 23, 7:30-9pm, Maynard Ave. United Methodist Church, 2350 Indianola Ave.

Instead of spending the day at the mall buying tons of stuff we don’t really need, guitarist and pianist Bill Cohen offers another option as he sings songs expressing gratitude for the things that really matter in our lives — friends, family, freedom, nature, music, art, and more.

$10 per person donations will be accepted at the door; proceeds will help fund a medical mission trip to the Dominican Republic for Bill’s wife, Randi, who annually serves as a translator for the International Medical Alliance of Tennessee, a team of U.S. doctors and nurses who are providing basic medical care to impoverished villagers.
