Peter Yarrow Coming to UF
Friday, November 16, 2001
Findlay, Ohio, Nov. 16, 2001 — Peter Yarrow, of Peter, Paul and Mary, will present a mini-concert on Wednesday, Dec. 5, at 7 p.m. in the Alumni Memorial Union, Multipurpose Room, on the campus of The University of Findlay.
Through his music, Peter encourages teachers, parents, youth and youth workers to collaborate in support of strategies, which teach the value of respect and help build caring and responsible communities. Capping a 40-year career in which he has used his music as a motivator, sensitizer and organizing force, Peter has founded a project called “Don’t Laugh at Me,” that is playing a prominent role nationwide to address disrespect, ridicule and bullying as root causes of emotional and physical violence among children. Peter’s words and songs continue to inspire new audiences to commit their time and talent toward the creation of a more just and more compassionate society.
The event, which is sponsored by Kappa Delta Pi, is free and open to the public. For more information, call Jim Schmidt at 419-434-6598.
