Sounds of the South: School of Social Work's Katrina benefit concert today

By Jessica Martin

Graduate students, faculty and staff are invited to the Lopata Courtyard between Goldfarb and Brown halls today for "Sounds of the South," a hurricane-relief benefit concert featuring the Zydeco Crawdaddys.

The event, hosted by the George Warren Brown School of Social Work student body, will kick off with a happy hour at 6 p.m. The concert will begin at 7 p.m.

Concert tickets are available for a $5 donation in the Goldfarb Hall Student Commons and the School of Social Work's Admissions Office. Tickets will be available for a $6 donation at the door.

Concertgoers will be able to allocate their donation to one of the following charities:

Louisiana Domestic Violence Coalition Relief Fund — This fund was established to help victims of domestic violence in Louisiana. The Louisiana Coalition will distribute funds in local communities via shelters and outreach programs that have direct links to the survivors of Hurricane Katrina.

Mercy Family Center — This is a nonprofit outpatient behavioral health clinic with locations in the greater New Orleans area. The center's buildings were damaged during Hurricane Katrina, but several staff clinicians have returned in order to offer services for hurricane survivors in greater New Orleans.

Houma Nation — The Houma Nation is a state-recognized American Indian tribe in Louisiana's bayou. Hurricane Katrina destroyed the homes of more than 1,000 tribal members, displacing more than 3,000 people. Donated funds will be given to the United Houma Nation Hurricane Relief fund.

In case of rain, the concert will be held in Brown Hall, Room 100.

For more information, call Swapna Kommidi at 935-9116.
