On Sunday, September 19th, Live Rite, a local non-profit dedicated to helping those with substance abuse problems kick them put on their 4th Annual live music fund-raising extravaganza! Besides the awesome Bands they had motivational speakers, vendors and good Family Fun!

(5) a Job Staffing Company

(5) a Clothing Boutique 

(6) a Food Pantry / Gym / Library / Yoga Classes

"It's not just for Recovery- We will help the Community as well" 

says Brenda.

I was the Photographer for BANG UP TAPE JOB- a fabulous Rock Band from the greater-Saginaw area. We did a pre-set photo-shoot involving a nice car and the baseball field fence. Also a nice ground-level shot of the whole Band.

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.
