Pakistan/India Relief Benefit Concert

This is from my friend Hollis, the lead singer from Tangosierra. Their tunes are playing on Rock 102 right now. Please consider this. If you cannot make it, that's cool, but please let your other friends and aquaintances know. This is going for a good solid cause. There are a lot of people are in dire straits right now along the Pakistan-India border, and World Vision is a good solid way to help. As an added incentive the Canadian government is also kicking in a dollar for every dollar that Worldvision raises for this relief effort.

More news should be posted soon on the tangosierra website: http://www.tangosierra.ca/

Thanks for your time, Steve "Moose" Funkner

Subject: Urgent newsflash: The Roadhammers and Tango Sierra to do a benefit concert.


People,

This is happening fast, and so I don't have time to sort out who I'm mailing this to, but it looks like The Roadhammers are going to pop into Saskatoon this coming Tuesday, October 25th, for a benefit concert at the Longbranch Salloon and Tango Sierra will be adding their show too as an opener. It's all but confirmed, and it looks like a for sure thing, and it's happening fast, so spread the word that all the proceeds will go to the earthquake relief effort to get those people some tents before the snow flies. I've got a bad cold, and I woke up this morning thankful that I'm not sleeping in a ditch with a wet blanket and the flu and my house broken down. So, yes, please spread the word and if any of you are connected with the Red Cross or World Vision, help me get them involved asap. I'll be up tonight emailing them to get their people into it. The gov't. matches everything donated thru the 26th, so whatever you give will be doubled. Here's something I got from World Vision.

We can do it, Hollis.



Dear Mr. Brown:

The earthquake along the Pakistan-India border has taken a massive toll—estimates state more than 40,000 people dead and millions homeless.

World Vision is there, working around the clock to save the lives of children and their families. Already, our staff is distributing 3,000 tents, 1,000 quilts, 12,000 litres of water, and more to suffering victims.

To strengthen our relief efforts and to help rebuild lives, the Canadian government has committed to match every dollar donated by individuals, but only until October 26. That means your gift will double in value to rush things like clean water, food, shelter, medical supplies and more to help twice as many needy children and families.

Please give generously today—rush emergency supplies and help save lives.

Thank you for your swift action and continuing prayers.

Sincerely,

Dave Toycen
President, World Vision Canada
