in the Helen Keller Act. The Center

headquarters in Sands Point, NY. Switchboard hours at
headquarters are 8 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. Support
services for youth and adults who are deaf-blind, their
families and the professionals who serve them across the
country are provided through our system of field
services Please visit their website at http://www.hknc.org/.

Dead, Allman Brothers, and the Band that performed at
the July 28, 1973 Summer Jam event. The music will run
non-stop from 9:30pm to 2:30am, and will feature three
full sets of the Grateful Dead covered by the Electrix,
a set of the Allman Brothers performed by Retro69, and
songs from the Band covered by Meech and Friends. Eddie Kaercher will be performing with them
as well. The schedule will be rounded out by a line
dance demonstration by those crazy chicks, “Chrome
Boots", who will be strutting their dancing tricks
