If any of you have been in Carbondale this summer, you may have heard of Rosie Gordon. She is a 4 year old girl who was attacked by an American Bulldog this June.

 

Rosie is recovering in a St. Louis hospital after suffering severe facial wounds in a dog attack in Carbondale this June. Surgeons have completed a first round of procedures to repair her chin and mouth, but much more work lies in Rosie's future. More facial reconstruction and physical and speech therapies are among the plans doctors have for the girl.

 

There will be a benefit show to help raise money for Rosie's medical bills at Hangar 9 this Saturday from 3 pm. until close.

ROCK OUT FOR ROSIE--click on "this weeks issue" and then "music" for more info.

 

 

Rosie's mom is an old friend of mine and my band Jackhead is happy to be helping out by playing this show.

 

Bands performing include:
