Join the group in their efforts to raise money for the cause by attending their benefit party for Hurricane Katrina that will take place Friday, September 16, 2005 at the Lemon Lounge, located on 230 Park Avenue (btwn 18th & 19th).

Hurricane Katrina was a fatal and shocking tropical storm that was the cause of terrible damage in the southeastern United States. This rainstorm will likely become known as the worst natural disaster ever to hit the United States, with major global economic consequences. Currently, five million people are without power in the Gulf Coast region, and it may be two months before all power is restored. In addition, some experts predict that one million people will become homeless as a result of the storm. As a result, the country needs our help so we encourage you to endorse this benefit event.

The event will begin at 8 p.m. and tickets are $10. All of the proceeds will go towards aiding victims of the hurricane. You must be over 18 years of age, with proper ID. Please note that guest under the age of 21 years of age will be able to participate in this event from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. only.

For more information about the event, please e-mail Ms. Perez at NPerez@lglo.com

Come out and support our people. We hope to see you there!
