THIS IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT TO ME BECAUSE THIS EVENT IS A BENEFIT CONCERT
FOR MY FATHER. HE HAS BECOME LEGALLY BLIND AS A COMPLICATION FROM
DIABETES WHICH HE IS MANAGING WITH HIS DIET ALONE. HE IS A MUSICIAN
WITHOUT HEALTH INSURANCE AND NEEDS TO RAISE MONEY TO HAVE LENS
REPLACEMENT SURGERY WHICH WILL VASTLY IMPROVE HIS QUALITY OF LIFE BY
ALLOWING HIM TO ONCE AGAIN BE ABLE TO DRIVE A CAR AND READ. EVERYONE
WHO IS CLOSE WITH THE FAMILY AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY ARE PULLING
TOGETHER TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. LOCAL BUSINESS ARE DONATING ITEMS FOR A
SILENT AUCTION, AND MUSICIANS ARE DONATING THEIR TIME AND TALENT IN
HOPES OF MAKING THIS A SUCCESSFUL AND MEMORABLE EVENT. AMONG THEM ARE
THOSE WHO NEED NO INTRODUCTION INCLUDING THE WORLD REKNOWNED JACK
DEJOHNETTE AND DAVID SANCIOUS, AND JOHN SEBASTIAN, AS WELL AS THE LOCAL
ACTS MENTIONED ABOVE. THIS IS A TRULY BEAUTIFUL THING THAT WILL BE
HAPPENING AND I AM HONORED TO BE A PART OF IT! IT MAKES ME FEEL VERY
BLESSED TO BE PART OF SUCH A WONDERFUL COMMUNITY! PLEASE COME AND
SUPPORT THE CAUSE!
THIS IS PARTICULARLY
