Hippo Relief

Hey everybody! I know this is last second, but you don't plan for a hurricaine benefit in any way other than last second. We are hosting a benefit event for the hurricaine victims on Monday September 12th at 7:00pm. It is going to feature live comedy from our new comedy troupe, the Hippos, and live music from Glen Beals, Dick Gimble, the Muddcatts, Adeline, and Ethan Durelle. We will also have representatives from a few area churches to talk about their response to the crisis and what they have done for the evacuees here in Waco. The Mayor ProTem, Robin McDurham, will give a welcome. We will be taking up donations for the American Red Cross. 100% of the donations will go straight to the Red Cross. It will cost a $5 minimum donation to get in. Come early, because we expect to have to turn people away because we'll be so full. I would love to raise $10,000 to give. Please help get the word out! Call the box office with questions at 254-752-9797. The city has done so much to help us stay open, this is the least we can do to try to give back to those in need. -- s
