Leahy Humanitarian Award for her tireless efforts to focus attention on the plight of landmine survivors worldwide. VVAF supporters, including Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT), will pay tribute to Harris Tuesday, November 12, at a benefit event at the Birchmere Music Hall. Musical guests will include Mary Chapin Carpenter, Guy Clark, Rodney Crowell, Steve Earle, Nanci Griffith, Patty Griffin, Buddy & Julie Miller, Jamie O'Hara and John Prine. All proceeds from the 2002 Patrick J. Leahy Humanitarian Award event will support VVAF's post-war assistance programs. VVAF is a Washington, DC-based international humanitarian organization that assists civilian victims of conflict in countries overseas, as well as educates and engages the public about the global landmine crisis. http://www.vvaf.org/ I haven't checked out that Web site, so I don't know if there will be a broad- or Web-cast or if it will be taped for future release or anything...
