Just to refresh the subject. The official site for Ben is: benwufund.com Pay pal will be accepting donations starting today through Ben's site. just click on the Ben Wu Fund button If you prefer to mail a check: The Ben Wu Fund c/o Liberty Bank 315 Main Street Middletown, CT 06457 Att: Kathleen Aubrey-Bergonzi I encourage anybody who holds any sort of benefit to simply send a check to that address or get in touch with me. Ben was always meticulous about growing money, so I'd like to in his honor build this accouunt up higher than he would imagine. You may not know this about Ben, but he started out in this business with a dream of playing and writing music. It's our intention to let his dream live on by starting a music scholorship fund. The local memorial service is going to be: February 10, 2008 2:00pm The Chevrolet Theatre (Old Oakdale Theatre) 95 S. Turnpike Road Wallingford, CT 06492 The folks from Live Nation have donated the space for the memorial. I hope for Ben's sake that we pack the place. Ben's fear about putting on events was that no one would show up! Spread the word. I think every band in CT and half of the ones in MA owe it to Ben to attend.

Thank you for the link. This is a great idea. Ben helped out one of my very first bands quite a bit. It's a tragic loss and I think you are doing a great job with this. We should all spread the word on this.
Regrettably, I will be out of the state on the 10th, but I hope everyone who can attend does.
