EAST TEXAS TSUNAMI RELIEF BENEFIT CONCERT
In response to President’s Bush call for Americans to contribute to the
relief effort caused by the devastating tsunami of December 26, 2004,
musicians from throughout East Texas will be giving a benefit concert on
Saturday, February 5, 2005 at the Nacogdoches Expo Center.
There is no admission cost, but donations will be accepted. Raffle tickets
will be on sale for merchandise and gift certificates donated by East
Texas businesses.
All of the musicians are donating their music and time
and Sound Techs of Lufkin is donating the sound system for the concert.
Donations from East Texas attorneys are paying for the Expo Center lease
and related expenses.
All profits will be donated to The Deep East Texas Boys & Girls Club -

in their tsunami fund drive. Once all the contributions are collected, the
East Texas Boys & Girls Club will send the proceeds, together with the
other contributions the East Texas Boys & Girls Clubs are collecting, to
the Boys & Girls Clubs of America -

then match the contributions dollar for dollar, and will then present a
check to President Bush for the tsunami victims.
The entertainment will be a mixture of Christian rock, country & western,
bluegrass, blues, and Rock & Roll. At this time the following music groups
have committed to providing their talents: Cutting Edge,
Crossroads, Assembled for God,
