Benefit concert for flood relief is Sept. 7

Saint Mary’s Volunteer Services and Office of Campus Ministry are planning a benefit concert, Rockin’ for Relief, 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 7, in the plaza.

Proceeds will assist victims of flood damage in our surrounding communities. The public is welcome.

Performing will be Bookreader, an SMU student band; SMU’s Adam Stasica; Winonan Mike Munson; and Monday Saga, a band from Milwaukee in which SMU alum Brandon Mathieus performs. Barbecued food will be served, and kids games will be provided. Many big-ticket items, including a Wenonah Canoe, are being donated for a live auction.

Admission will be $10 or $5 for students. A freewill donation will be asked for those younger than 12. Families will be admitted for $10 per adult and freewill donations for children.

The concert will serve as a kickoff for an SMU volunteer weekend of service to flood victims. For more information, contact Katie LaPlant at Ext. 6936.
