Concerts For Kids is proud to announce that Grammy-Winner John Legend and Grammy-Nominee, Jewel, will be taking the stage at Fiddler’s Green on Friday, June 6th starting at 8:00 PM.

This unique event provides sponsors the opportunity to entertain clients in a relaxing atmosphere while benefiting children’s organizations in the community. Sponsorship levels include tickets to the show, invitations to the patron party, marketing benefits and more!

Since it’s inception in 2004, Concerts For Kids has been able to distribute over half a million dollars to its named beneficiaries. Artists such as Earth Wind and Fire, Chicago, Lionel Richie, Chris Isaak, Daryl Hall & John Oates, Seal, Heart and Michael McDonald embraced the spirit of Concerts For Kids as they posed with patients of The Children’s Hospital and other local youth just prior to engaging thousands of people anxious to take part in the celebration.

All - Each year, INC sponsors a beer booth at the People’s Fair, scheduled this year for June 7 and 8, Saturday - 10am to 8pm and Sunday - 10am to 7pm. The booth is staffed by INC member RNO volunteers. In return for helping INC, each volunteer receives $10 to donate to their RNO. 1 volunteer from your RNO = $10 for your RNO. 10 volunteers from your RNO = $100 for your RNO!

This a great opportunity to have FUN(!) and make money serving beer. INC needs people for late morning, mid-afternoon, and late afternoon shifts, about 3.5 hrs. each.

Collect up some folks from your RNO and contact Karen Cuthbertson or Diane Wolta (dewol99@hotmail.com).
