Hugs for Mimi fundraiser set March 26
The Friends of Mimi are happy to invite the public to the Hugs for Mimi Fundraiser set 1 to 4 p.m., Sunday, March 26, at The Forgotten Mile Ale House at 20859 Coastal Hwy., Rehoboth Beach. Funds will go to Carol "Mimi" LeVasseur, a Lewes local, for expenses stemming from a recent car accident. The event will feature a special edition of the original Sydney's Music Revival by her musical friends. There will be a silent auction and lunch buffet along with plenty of space to celebrate Mimi's continuing recovery.
The musical portion of Hugs for Mimi will be hosted by area favorites Big Hat, No Cattle. The jam will feature many local and regional musicians and performers, who will be donating their time and talent. Those slated to perform along with the host band include Bettenroo, Matthew Kenworthy, Holly Lane and John Flynn, Elwood Bishop and Some of The Bysquyts, The Girlfriends, and Sherman Ward and Peggy Raley-Ward along with some of the Funsters... and the jam list continues to grow.
