| While in town for a set
of shows at the Pageant in St. Louis, Wilco HQ recently connected with
the St. Louis-based New Roots Urban Farm. This self-proclaimed "anti-profit
collective" operates
a fully-functional farm just north of downtown -- primarily sustaining
itself by selling produce at local farmer's markets and via a Community
Sponsored Agriculture program (CSA). They also operate several agriculture
programs for neighborhood children. As promoted at the show,
Wilco donated $3,000 from poster sales to help this group continue
it's good work. Check them out here for
more information or to find out how you can help. |

Thanks to everyone who bid on the Charity Auctions for the Riviera
shows, your generosity is greatly appreciated. Between the
Opera Box and merchandise sales we raised and donated $20,000 to Inspiration
Corporation. Half of the donation will support
their Community
Voice Mail program.

Wilco's September 12
show at Millennium Park in downtown Chicago raised over $75,000 for
the Chicago Coalition for
the Homeless. Thanks to all of the you who bought tickets and helped
support this important organization. |

Thanks to you guys, last fall's front row seat auctions for the
Auditorium Theater shows in Chicago raised over $8,000 for First
Slice Chicago. Your donations enabled Chef Mary Ellen Diaz and
her crew to renovate their antiquated kitchen and better serve
both their subscribers and low-income families around Chicago.
More information about First Slice available at www.firstslice.org.
Bravo to you all for your kind donations & bids. |
