"It's not just for Recovery- We will help the Community as well"
says Brenda.
I was present during the Representative of the U.S Marine Corps spoke. He also arranged a fly-over of a Rescue Helicopter (all volunteer) at no cost to the Tax-payer! He mentioned the local TOYS FOR TOTS Program too. Always a great cause!
Also a County Judge, Joseph Toia spoke of the wonders the Court System in the County created to help those needing Drug & Alcohol abuse help. It is working for Addicts. The Judge gave rave reviews to LIVE RITE as they are one of the Agencies he sends these recovering Souls to.
I stayed and saw most of the Bands. There was great music and the Event went smoothly. The mix of Heavy Metal to soft Rock/Folk was an indicator of the great thought put into inviting all different types of music- just like the greater Roseville area.
