As some of you may know I was one of those pushed out
of New Orleans because of hurricane Katrina. Now back
in Boston I helped organize this show.
Please spread the word.
We have all volunteered so that all of the money can go to
this great group, but without a full house it won't be
a success. Please contact me for any needed
information. Poster of show attached as well to
forward to friends and hang up.
Thank you so much,

About the Benefit:
Local artists have organized an evening of dance and
music to benefit Turkey Creek Community Initiatives
(TCCI), a non-profit in Mississippi that is resettling
people and promoting a future for them that is
culturally and environmentally sound. Derrick Evans,
the founder and director, was raised in Turkey Creek,
attended Boston College, became a historian, and
taught history in Boston for twenty years. He
returned to Turkey Creek and founded TCCI, see more at
www.turkey-creek.com. CNN says of his work: "Faster
than FEMA, more nimble than the Red Cross, Derrick
Evans doesn't think much about either. All he thinks
about is that ocean of need."
