The earthquake and Tsunami the struck Asia on
December 26th has become the greatest naturally disaster
to strike the world in modern times. To date, over
220,000 people are known dead and millions more have
been left homeless. The Tsunami also destroyed
businesses and fishing boats and other economic
infrastructure that will take years to rebuild.
FRIENDSHIP'S ROAD is one way we can respond and help the
victims of the disaster. St. George's and 9 of the top
Bluegrass and Old-Time music groups in the Midwest have
come together to produce this Sampler CD to support the
relief efforts of THE AMERICAN REFUGEE COMMITTEE (ARC).
ARC has an outstanding reputation for putting $.93 of
every dollar on the ground directly supporting those who
need it most. They had people at the site of the
disaster in Thailand, distributing needed medicine and
other supplies, within 24 hours of the Tsunami. Much,
much more needs to be done. The need is urgent and
financial support is critical.
The
music on the CD is fantastic! It is a unique
opportunity to own a collection of music unavailable
without having to CDs from all 9 groups -- a tremendous
value for only $15. The best value, however, is
purchasing CDs for yourself, your relatives, friends and
co-workers, knowing that each CD you purchase can make a
profound difference in the lives of the disaster
victims.
Buy
your CD today at St. George's church office, Border's
Bookstores, Amazon.com, the bands themselves, and from
numerous other music stores, bookstores and other
outlets.
