Newby's Memphis : Calendar : Reckless Kelly - Alternative Country / Roots Rock

We want to make you aware of a new program we’re implementing at our merchandise table entitled, “Reckless Kelly’s Military Care Packs”. We are asking that fans bring in postcards, letters, and items listed below, to be sent to troops stationed overseas. You can drop these off at our merchandise table, then we’ll package them up and get them out to the people who need them. If you choose to write a postcard or letter, please write it so that it could be received by any member of the military, male or female. With your support we hope to make this program a success. Below you’ll find a list of what to bring as well as what not to contribute.
