Free concert planned at Reservoir to thank local volunteers fighting hunger and homelessness
Jennifer Wake
The Rotary Club of Lafayette is planning a special free concert on Aug. 6 at the Lafayette Reservoir's Rotary Stage to say "thank you" to the hundreds of volunteers who are working with the hungry and homeless in Contra Costa County.?
Over the last two years the Rotary Club of Lafayette has launched a monthly program, "Rotary Cares," finding ways to make significant contributions that might make a difference, including donations to the Monument Crisis Center, the Contra Costa Food Bank, as well as other projects such as making and donating warm blankets; making and donating breakfast kits and hygiene kits for shelters; and collecting and donating gently used shoes.
The concert, which is a way to say thank you for the time, the hard work, and the money that has been raised by volunteers to help the very programs that create a safety net here in the East Bay, will begin at 4 p.m. with a warm-up act, followed by a 90-minute concert featuring the Big Band of Rossmoor. Audience members are encouraged to bring a picnic, a blanket, and enjoy the music. Visit www.lafayetterotary.com and order free tickets.
