Providence Band Aid 3: Saturday May 16th




Mark Elliott, long time Providence resident, and former NEWSPEAK Bookstore alumni, requested our help to raise some needed funds to pay for help pay for his cancer medication. His health insurance has been giving him problems, and he's finding it next to impossible to afford the medicine that he needs to live. Needless to say, here is a chance to help someone in real need, who's been a positive part of this town. Both myself and Bob have lost close family members to cancer, and we feel this is an important and worthwhile event.

If you want to donate, but cannot attend, you can Paypal a donation to:
armageddondaynow@hotmail.com

Please put in the notes: Donation For Mark Elliott Benefit
All donations will go directly to him, and thanks for helping him out.
If you want to drop off a donation in person you can stop by Armageddon Shop, and we will make sure that it gets where it needs to go.

We still need Raffle prize donations as well, they can be dropped off at Armageddon anytime up to the show. If it's too difficult to make it to the shop or hook up with myself or Bob beforehand, how about letting us know you'll bring something, then just bring it to the show. It would be nice to have a full list ahead of time with the prizes so folks know what they may win.

Let's do this, we need your participation.

Records, CD's, tapes, shirts, books, zines, posters, handmade goods, art, gift certificates... pretty much anything would be welcome.

We've done some pretty good benefits over the years, and we need and appreciate everyone's participation. Mark appreciates the help as well. Don't slack if you have the possibility to donate something at all, please do.

This is about community, and our ability to help each other out when it's needed the most.
