Sept 26-27th 2008
I'd like to invite local MS members to attend Pawlessfest, an outdoor music festival I'll be involved with Sept 26-27th.
Vince Pawless of Pawless Guitars has helped me in the past with benefit music festivals. Now it's Vince's turn to learn how hard it is. I think it would be a good Mercedes GTG opportunity in addition to hearing some damn fine music. http://www.pawless.com/pawlessfest.html One "focus" of the Pawlessfest is to support the "Backpack Buddies" program ran by Visto of Cooke County. It is a program that gives students and their siblings living at or below Federal Poverty Guidelines a backpack loaded with nutritious food and snack items for their consumption for a weekend. They filled backpacks are discreetly sent home with the child every Friday after school. The children return the empty backpacks on monday for the process to cycle again on the next Friday. The 2007-2008 year is helping 850 children in 13 schools. This is done every week. The goal for the 2008-2009 year is 1000 students in 14 schools! The result of this is healthier children as well as better grades! This program costs about $4,000 a week to maintain. PawlessFest festival goers are asked to bring any of the items listed below. Bring as little or as much as you want. Every donation will be put directly into the hands of a child that needs it. Instant Breakfast Instant Oatmeal Poptarts Viena Sausage 3 oz. Foil Packs of Tuna Beanee Weenees 7.5oz Lunch Cups (i.e. Chef Boyardee) NEW Unmarked Backpack (not 'see through') Come on local folks, mark your calender. |

I thought this was a benefit for injured cats.
