SATURDAY FROM NOON TO 9 P.M. AT COMMON GROUNDS
Phil Zimmerly of Common Grounds Coffeehouse wants to get you grounded.
Well, sort of...grounded in a solid life.
So, Common Grounds is host to its first-ever live music marathon benefit event. It's from noon to 9 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12. It features some of the area's most talented musicians.
As a benefit, proceeds will go to a Lima-based program called "Drugs Bring Death." The program started with one man carrying a sign with those words.
Eventually a non-profit organization was organized around that theme. The organization's purpose is to preserve and improve the quility of life for all citizens of Lima, Allen County and the surrounding counties, by increasing public awareness of the harmful effects of drugs through education, public officials and the general public.
Drugs Bring Deathhelps others to receive rehab and drug treatment. A percentage of Saturday's proceeds will go to DBD for its work.
Persons unable to attend the Bluffton event but wish to make a donation may send them to:
