   Who we are 

If you were there, you loved it.  We're glad to report that the Joleen Bell benefit concert held Sunday, March 16, brought in $16,250, and another $1,000 is currently on its way in.  This won't get Joleen out of the woods, but it'll take her a long way in the right direction.

Thanks to so many who worked so hard, donated their time, and donated their money.  It was a great event.  According to various counts, we had between 600 and 1000 people there, and everyone was very generous.

Joleen was there, in a wheelchair, and even came up and sang "Over the Rainbow" with Phil on the last song of the night.  It was a beautiful thing.
