Dear Beloved Community
-
A
few months ago, Steve and I were invited to a special showing of a new
documentary film, "The Waiting Room." The
movie features the waiting room (surprise!) of Highland Hospital, our local
county hospital. It
was a powerful film that lifts up the voices of those working the emergency
room and those waiting. Steven
and I were both moved and challenged.
Many
of you know Steven now works for the Alameda County Medical Center (ACMC) of
which Highland is a part.
We'd
like to invite you to "go to the movies" with us to view this
important film. "The
Waiting Room" is currently being shown at Oakland's Grand Lake theater. I
am proposing that we go on Thursday, Oct. 25th, for the 7:00 p.m.
showing. Steven
will join us afterwards as we gather for dessert and discussion.
If
you'd like to come, please RSVP by Tuesday, Oct. 23rd. Tickets
are $10 for general admission and $7 for children and seniors.
Peace,
Emily
ps.
If you are not able to join us in this showing, please consider seeing the film
on your own. It is well worth your time.
