West Sonoma County Hurricane Charity Festival

Ace Pub Music Benefit for Katrina Survivors


You are cordially invited to a benefit for Katrina Hurricane and
Flood Survivors at Ace In The Hole Cider Pub on Saturday, October 1.

It will go from noon until 6:30 p.m.

We plan to celebrate and sustain the culture of New Orleans and the
Gulf Coast. We especially want to support the music and the joie de
vivre of Louisiana Creole and Cajun culture. This will be a positive
community event. To that end we expect a respectful gathering, which
is also a good party! Mardi Gras beads, masks and a special menu will
be available.

The following groups will perform; Love Choir, Shari & The Deeper
Rhythm, Kirana Peyton's Black Bird Stitches, Dave T. Carter and Rick
Miller of the Trailer Park Rangers and Ron Dubin's The Fourth Street
New Orleans Jazz Band. DJ Mama will provide intermezzo tunes.

There will be no cover charge. Ace in the Hole Pub is located at 3100
Gravenstein Highway North, at the corner of 116 and Graton Road.

The money raised will go to various charities. Information about them
will allow you to choose to whom to donate. Emphasis will be on
grassroots, in-place, on the ground groups doing relief work.

Cash donations will go to the American Red Cross National Disaster
Relief Fund. Those funds will be delivered to the Sonoma County
Chapter of the American Red Cross.

The other featured groups are: Sonoma County Leadership America
(Community Baptist Church, Santa Rosa), Baton Rouge Area Foundation,
The Tipitina's Foundation, The United Houma Nation Hurricane Relief,
Families and Friends of Louisiana's Incarcerated Children Hurricane
Relief Fund, Veterans For Peace Chapter 116 - Mendocino County
(Providing food and relief in Covington, Louisiana), New Orleans
Rebuild Green, Hurricane Katrina Community Action - American
Federation of Musicians Local 174-496, New Orleans Musicians
Hurricane Relief Fund sponsored by The Preservation Hall Jazz Band,
Backbeat Fund, Federation of Southern Cooperatives Land Assistance
Fund, The NAACP Disaster Relief Fund and numerous other disaster
relief organizations.

We will have information sheets available at the event so that you
can read about these charities and decide to whom you wish to write a
check. Everyone's checks will be collected, documented and we will
mail them to the appropriate organizations.

So that you can select the groups that you want to donate to
directly, you are strongly encouraged to bring your checkbook. Credit
card donations will not be accepted at the event but information on
how to make them by telephone or internet will be provided.

Think of this as a Katrina Survivors Charity Fair!

We gotta do something about this mess.

Laissez Les Bon Tempts Continue!!!

Merci Bien,

Miles Mendenhall
