Friends,

So, it is once again that time of year again where Maurice the Fish Records working alongside The Lenderman Academy (Parkland, WA), Westminster First Presbyterian Church and The Pierce County Fish Food Banks put on a benefit concert to assist feeding the families in need around our local Pierce County. The fact is that in 2009, the food banks of Pierce County saw a 34% rise in request for aide, but not even close to the same increase in donations. In 2009, 313,776 individuals in need were served enough food to make 2,823,984 meals. That, my friends, is a HUGE number of meals...and demonstrates, clearly, how many people are truly hungry.

All I am asking is that if you are unable to attend our benefit concert on May 1st, 2010 from 6-9pm...is that if you could find it in your heart to donate, even as little as $1 to the cause. If you can spare anything to help the hungry, please go to www.mauricethefishrecords.net and click on the GO FISHING tab. There you can use either your DEBIT card or CREDIT card. I know we are absolutely bombarded with requests for philanthropy on a daily basis, but, there is no great need than food in our bellies....

Thank you for your consideration!
