September 6 Slidell, LA Benefit Car Show I believe everyone is familiar with the 11 year old, Devin Funck, who was swimming in Slidell, LA last week when an alligator ripped his arm off at his shoulder. The arm was recovered from the alligator’s stomach, but unfortunately, could not be re-attached. Devin will need a prosthesis and future surgeries.
A car show is being organized to help raise money for Devin’s medical expenses. This car show will be held on September 6, 2008 at the Harbor Center in Slidell. The Northshore Mustang Club has been asked to assist in putting on this event. You can get more information and details about the show at our website: www.northshoremustangclub.com 
This is a fund raiser. It would be great if we could pull together as a car community to help this child. Please set this date on your calendar and plan to attend. If you are not able to attend the show, but would still like to help - donations can be made at any Capital One Bank in Devin Funck’s name. Hope to see you on Sept. 6th at the Harbor Center in Slidell.
