Hello GDF Cats & Kittens!

I, your ever-absent moderator at large, have an incredible opportunity to spend 6 weeks volunteering as a Certified Fitness Consultant at the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic. I have a place to stay and a way down there, but we need to raise money to support programming at the clinic, so we’re doing what we do best:

HAVING PARTIES!

If you are in the Toronto area, be sure to come out to:

Friday, March 23rd, 8pm:
RENT PARTY
email m.dixon.fitness@gmail.com for details.

Saturday, March 24th, 4pm - 8:30pm:
THE HAPPY PALS
Grossmans Tavern, 379 Spadina Ave.
No cover - donations encouraged! There will be food, raffles and copious amounts of dance music!

Friday, March 30th:
FRANKIE FOO & THE YOYO SMUGGLERS
10pm @ Grossman’s Tavern
NO COVER - donations encouraged. Our regular ska residence at Grossman’s, but with a tip of the hat to our cohorts in the Crescent City - PWYC. ska! Ska! SKA!

Sunday, April 1st:
Jazz Brunch with the DON VALLEY STOMPERS
12-3pm, upstairs @ Paupers Pub Bloor + Bathurst
NO COVER! SPECIAL SUNDAY FOOD & DRINK PRICES! PWYC. If you eat anything in April, make sure its brunch @ Pauper's on the 1st!

I need everyone’s help to make this effort at the New Orleans Musician’s Clinic a success. For those of you that would like to contribute to this effort, but aren't in the Toronto area, please feel free to make a donation via this site (http://marladixon.wordpress.com), or to the NOMC proper (http://www.neworleansmusiciansclinic.org).


Lastly, feel free to keep posted on my adventures: http://marladixon.wordpress.com (http://marladixon.wordpress.com). I will be working in New Orleans, Louisiana in April and May and keeping Toronto updated online.

Thanks in advance for your help and support - ANY AMOUNT WILL HELP.

Laissez les bon temps roulez!

Unc, I might have a few extra tickets. I got some for two of my kids and they aren't going. If it turns out that I have extras I'll email you on how to get them to you. Only thing is you have to enter through the musicians entrance!
