Support Evacuees at ABQ Musical Event

Editor's UPDATE: This morning's Albuquerque Journal lists a new time for this event:

Everyone is invited to "Hospitality Jam," a free musical concert from 4 to 7 p.m. today at the Civic Plaza. Albuquerqueans can meet and welcome evacuees. The New Mexico African American Alliance, the city of Albuquerque and several businesses are sponsoring the event. Cash donations for hurricane victims will be accepted. Call 275-0050 for more information.

FYI passed along by Robb Chavez:
ACTION ALERT: In response to Hurricane Katrina, evacuees have come to Albuquerque. It has been  reported by program organizer David Harris that a musical concert will be given to entertain them and make them feel at home.

It is considered a Black Community Outreach presentation (all ethnic groups  welcome) to show our love and give comfort to those who survived this horrendous natural disaster. It will also be a time for everyone to welcome them personally and to continue donations and gifts to the evacuees.

The event will be from 3 PM to 6 PM at the Civic Plaza,
Thursday, September 8th, downtown Albuquerque.

Everyone is invited and the concert is FREE.

Contact 275-0050 with questions.
