Looking for something to do on a winter afternoon? Listen to some good musicians at a North Oakland Band Concert on March 6. The concert begins at 3 p.m. in the Lake Orion High School Performing Arts Center, 495 East Scripps Road.
The band, an 80 piece ensemble, is dedicating its spring concert as a benefit performance for the Rochester Habitat Coalition and the North Oakland Circle of Faith.
These coalitions are faith based groups of churches that have each united to build a house this summer with Habitat for Humanity of Oakland. Each coalition must raise $65,000 for its home that will be constructed in Pontiac.
Admission to the concert is free, however, there will be an opportunity for a free-will offering for the building projects.
Habitat for Humanity is an international organization that seeks to provide adequate housing one family at a time. Michigan has been designated host to Jimmy Carter Work Project and 225 houses will be built statewide this June.
