[s-cars] S-Cars National Relief fund.

[Eric's E-Mail]

I personally had no way to get there, but I also 'Front' a VW club out here
in Southern California and know on a smaller scale what Darin is going
through.  As far as I'm concerned, I just need to know an address, and I'll
support the cause.


I wonder if RUSH would do a charity concert for Darin :-)

And BTW, count me in for next year no matter where.  I'll setup the time and
vacation fund to make it happen for me :-)

Eric
