A Beneficial Evening at the Nutty Brown!

Left: Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies of Central Texas was the prime beneficiary of this benefit, which also supported the work of the La Leche League, the Mothers Milk Bank (center), Mom's Place, and other related organizations. Music for the evening was courtesy of the Grass Onion Band and Jabarvy (including Margaret Harn on trumpet, Jon Olson on guitar, and Meg Kemp on alto sax. [For more on Jabarvy, see our August 11 entries.]

Lots of door prizes, a silent auction, and a donation at the door helped raise money for a new program aimed at educating new moms about the benefits of breast feeding -- to mothers and babies. Emcee for the evening was Janet Jones, whose husband "Sham" is bassist for the band Jabarvy. Pay close attention!!!! The Mother's Milk Bank of Austin -- the nation's second largest, which provides mother's milk to babies in 10 states -- is in need of more mother's milk donors to help babies whose moms cannot provide them with "booby juice." Jabarvy performed an instrumental entitled "Your Mom" in honor of the event. The band will be at Momo's Club on September 2 squeezed in between Uncle Lucious and Carolyn Wonderland -- sounds like fun!
