I have to apologize to my loyal readers for the lateness of PROLIFICK PROFILES. I always strive to be consistent and "on point", but due to the abundance of business and lack of time, it seems this e-newsletter's timeliness was sacrificed. I don't take this lightly, either. I have vowed to organize myself to the point where I can be productive without losing perspective. I mean, being busy is one thing, but being busy and not accomplishing anything is something else; and it happens more often than many corporations, supervisors, and managers may think.
I am not the only one late, though. In my residential area, ALLENTOWN, PA, (yes, the city that had the gas explosion and loss of life on February 9, 2011) the communities are joining forces to support those affected by this great tragedy. It's amazing how many benefits/fundraisers have been created for this cause.
My only complaint is that it took such an EXTREME tragedy to make people come together to assist those in need. I am wondering how long this will last? I hate to use the term, "Better late than never"; but long after the situation dies down and the press has moved to a new lead story, will it be possible for us to keep the momentum going?
THE FOLLOWING ARE PAST and FUTURE EVENTS:
The first of several music-related benefits for the victims of this month’s fatal gasline explosion in an Allentown neighborhood was from 5 to 11 p.m. last Sunday at Pitchers Sports Bar and Grill, 570 Union Blvd., Allentown.
Cap Cee, a popular disc jockey on Lehigh Valley radio station WAEB-FM B104, presented the all-ages fund-raiser, which will include performances by Valley-area DJs Cap Cee, Menace, Express, Gemini, Sweetlife, Fly, Arm 18 and others.
Artists that performed were be King Magnetic, Adlib, Lperfex, Allie Santos, Khemistry Dance Crew, Tug McGraw, Tribeland, Kwesa Drakes and more.
There was a $10 cover charge donation at the door. Also, Pitchers donated part of the proceeds from food and drink sales at the end to help the victims.
The website www.rapforever.com, one of the event’s sponsors, will stream it live. Other sponsors were Audio Dynamikz, B 104, M9tanner Promotions and WC Entertainment.
