[Buddha-l] Benefit concert for Doctor's Without Borders

[Bill Kish]

I received the enclosed invitation from another list I am on.  
I believe some on this list mentioned "Doctors Without Borders"
favorably when the Tsunami hit not so long ago, so I hope the
moderators will allow this submission.

Dear Friend,

On Monday, January 23, there will be a special performance of
Beethoven's Ninth Symphony at Carnegie Hall to benefit MSF's
programs in response to the earthquake in South Asia.  We hope 
that you will consider joining us and will forward this email 
to family, friends, and colleagues you think may be interested. 
For more information on MSF's activities in the region, please

and awareness for the survivors of the October 2005 cataclysmic
