Chile benefit March 13

Posted 3/10/2010

On Feb. 27, the South American country of Chile was struck by one of the most severe earthquakes in modern history, measuring 8.8 on the Richter scale. Chileans here in Middle Tennessee, in collaboration with Latin American Studies of Vanderbilt University, are calling for the entire community to come to the aid of the Chilean people.

On Saturday, March 13 at 5 p.m., the public is invited to attend a fundraising concert featuring local musicians and renowned Chilean author and earthquake survivor Alberto Fuguet. There is a suggested donation of $15. United Way of Williamson County will act as the fiscal agent to channel 100 percent of the money collected directly to the Chilean Red Cross.

The concert will take place at Second Presbyterian Church, 3511 Belmont Blvd., in Nashville.
