HONESDALE HELPS HAITI CONCERT



This painting is by Laura Sullivan of Grace Church

Feeling under the weather today, in bed all day, however just helping a good friend get the word out for a really, great event in our community:

HONESDALE HELPS HAITI CONCERT
Sunday, January 24 from 5-7PM (Snow date Sunday 1/31 from 1-3PM)
Grace Episcopal Church
827 Church Street , Honesdale , Pennsylvania
Suggested donation $10 at the door.

Three local musicians, Janet Burgan, Stephen Faubel and Kazzrie Jaxen have teamed up to play a concert to benefit the earthquake victims in Haiti . Stephen and Kazzrie will be performing on Grace's beautiful 1903 Steinway Model O baby grand piano. Janet will be singing and playing guitar. Please join us and make a difference for our Haitian brothers and sisters. Come for part or all of the concert. Let's show Haiti that Honesdale cares!!

All donations will be sent to Episcopal Relief & Development.

Episcopal Relief & Development has disbursed emergency funding for its program partner, the Diocese of Haiti, to help meet immediate needs such as food, water and shelter. The agency is standing ready to support the Diocese with post-earthquake recovery and rebuilding efforts and is partnering with the Diocese of the Dominican Republic to coordinate efforts that can be administered from the border areas. The Diocese already has staff in place and relationships with the Episcopal priests across the border. As communications and access improve, Episcopal Relief & Development will continue to provide updates.

If you are unable to attend this concert please assist those suffering in the wake of this disaster donating to the Haiti Fund online or call 1.800.334.7626 1.800.334.7626 ext. 5129 or by mail at P.O. Box 7058 , Merrifield , VA 22116-7058
