Twenty people will enjoy a meal and conversation with Amy Goodman in a private setting in Santa Fe on Saturday, April 16, at 3 p.m. with all proceeds benefiting community radio KUNM 89.9 FM.
Amy Goodman is the journalist and co-host, with Juan Gonzales, of the program Democracy Now from Pacifica Radio. Goodman will be in Santa Fe on Saturday, April 16 for a live Peace Jam NM event at St. John's College.
Prior to her public event, 20 lucky bidders will gather for an intimate meeting with Goodman to include conversation, an excellent meal and wine.
This opportunity will take place from 3-5 p.m. in a private dining room disclosed only to the auction winners after the close of bidding on April 14. Individuals can help KUNM by bidding on this charity auction at www.kunm.org and join us “at table” with Goodman in Santa Fe.
Proceeds will benefit community radio KUNM-FM while the winning bidders will benefit from time spent with today's leading progressive journalist and advocate for independent media.
“The minimum bid for the KUNM auction is $125.00. If you make a generous contribution of $1,000 we will automatically reserve a seat at the table for you, with no other bid required. There are a maximum of 20 winners to keep the afternoon with Amy as intimate as possible,” said Richard Towne, general manager, KUNM.
Goodman will be in Santa Fe on April 16 through the work of Peace Jam NM. She will join East Timor native and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Jose Ramos Horta in a conversation about East Timor, and the vitality of democracy and peace around the globe.
Peace Jam takes place on Saturday, April 16, starting at 7 p.m. at St. John's College Gym in Santa Fe. Tickets are available at the Lensic Box Office in Santa Fe - 988-1234. Tickets are $15 in advance, $12 in advance for students, or $20 at the door. Public events with Goodman usually sellout quickly, so individuals are encouraged to buy tickets early.
“Thanks in advance for your participation and generosity in KUNM's first ever benefit auction online. The very notion that Amy is so willing to help us and meet with you is terrific. We look forward to being with you on April 16 with Amy Goodman,” Towne said.
