Hi Everyone!  For those of you planning to attend The Ingrid Jensen Quartet concert on Saturday night, we just got news that they plan on donating %20 of their artist fees to the Haitan relief efforts.  We'd like to encourage people to bring their gently used shoes for donation to the organization Soles for Souls.  Receive $5 off your ticket price, get rid of some of those old shoes (probably not heels)  kicking around in your closet and help others in need. Here's a link to the organization. This is just a last minute promotion, so tell your friends!
