A Concert for Japan 3/20/11

A concert and silent auction will take place this Sunday, March 20 at 3 PM, at Bethany Church in Randolph, Vermont, to benefit American Red Cross relief efforts in northern Japan. The event will include sets of rock and pop music as played by a host of central Vermont musicians, including Chris Smith, Ed Delhagen, Barry Vermont and Hillary and Andy Leicher. Chinatsu “Tina” Goto, an American Field Service exchange student attending Randolph High School, will perform on the piano and has donated some of her original artwork to the silent auction; her hometown is near Tokyo. The auction will take place in the vestry (downstairs) of the church from 3 PM until around 4:30 PM, and includes gift certificates, products and services from local merchants, as well as artwork and crafts.
