The Big House Foundation Restoration Benefit
Announcement

On Saturday, January 19, 2008, the Macon Independent Restaurant Association will host the
2nd annual Big House Foundation/Allman Brothers Band Museum benefit. Once again it will be at the historic Macon Armory and will feature great food from Macon 's best independent restaurants, an amazing line-up of musical talent and a silent and a live auction hosted again by Hudson & Marshall.

We are calling this event the Revival because the Big House Foundation has recently purchased the Big House and Kirk West's thousands of pieces of memorabilia. We also purchased the lot next door that was left after the horrendous fire that leveled the house that was standing on it. Now work will begin in the restoration of the Big House and the creation of the Allman Brothers Band Museum . We anticipate opening no later than early 2009.

We know that you had a great time last year and this year will be even better. Please let us know if we can count on your support again this year. Your contribution is a tax deductible donation to the Big House Foundation, a 501( c ) 3 corporation.

Thank you for all you have done to make this road go on forever.

Your friends at the Big House Foundation
