Chris Kendall, vice president for Student Development, will perform at a benefit concert and silent auction on Saturday, Nov. 14. The concert is in honor of Rod and Shirley Steiner, who began the reconciliation process between the Dakota people and the people of Winona.

The benefit will feature LightWalker and Chris Kendall & the Coulee Kings, in Winona State University’s Somsen Auditorium.

Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students. Children under 12, accompanied by their parents, will be admitted for free.

A silent auction begins at 6 p.m.; Kendall and the Coulee Kings perform from 7 to 8 p.m.; a video tribute to the Steiners begins at 8 p.m.; and Lightwalker performs from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m.

Proceeds go to the Winona-Dakota Unity Alliance, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, and all contributions are fully tax-deductible. A portion of the amounts paid for silent auction items will also be tax-deductible.

Kendall will also play at 7 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 15, at “Film and Folk Music from Winona” at Oak Center near Lake City. The performance will begin after Joyce Woodworth’s film about Vietnam, “The Journey Home.”
