Gulf Coast Disaster Relief Benefit At Hotel San Jose Tonight

23rd July, 2010 - Posted by carsi - No Comments

If you’ve been feeling a little helpless about the Gulf oil spill and want to do something to help, head on over to the benefit tonight at 6:00 at Hotel San Jose and Jo’s on South Congress to donate some money, eat some delicious food from Perla’s and Lambert’s, listen to Papa Mali and Lost Bayou Ramblers, and get educated about how you can help. The optional $10 cover charge and the $10 per plate shrimp boil proceeds will benefit the Greater New Orleans Foundation and the Gulf Restoration Network. Additionally, Texas State Rep. Mark Strama will be speaking about renewable energy policies in Texas, and Brandi Clark of EcoAustin will be discussing local volunteer opportunities and green energy resources in Austin. Sounds like a great time for a very important and timely cause.
