Concert will help defray medical costs

NEWTON — Matthew Sheehan is a 23-year-old man with aplastic anemia. He needs money for bone marrow tests. On Nov. 20 there will be a benefit evening for him at The Fountain House 439 Rt. 94, south of Newton. Local organizers have put together a group of musicians to perform, including Judy Aron, Joe Steinwand, Tim Roberts, Leo LaBarge, and Ben Earl with the Uptown Getdowns. Doors open at 8 p.m. There is a $10 minimum donation at the door. All proceeds will help with medical bills.
