JIM SHOWKER MEMORIAL On Saturday, June 16, the WOW Hall will be hosting a celebration of life for James Solomon Showker (3/4/49 - 3/30/18) who was a recent WOW Hall board member. Jim had a lifelong love for music. Starting in Virginia as a young radio DJ and later moving to California in the early 70’s, he continued his passion for music by partnering in a sound reinforcement business. He worked in TV and live sound for many of the award shows such as the Oscars, Grammy’s, Emmy’s; the big DNC conventions, the Olympics, and AFRICAN half-time at the Super Bowl. He was an inspired inventor who improved on the ideas of others, he wasn’t always first - but he was the best. Come join us at the WOW Hall at 5:00 pm for our memorial of DANCE James and join us at 6:30 for a celebration of Jim’s life. The beer gar- den will be open, and food will be available.
