Briefs: See the Allman Brothers

Volunteer for Marklund and see the Allman Brothers Band and Bob Weir and Rat Dog on Thursday at Chicago's Charter One Pavilion for free, including transportation and dinner. Volunteers work in the main concession tent. A portion of the proceeds from the concession stand go to Marklund's programs for infants, children and adults with developmental disabilities. Volunteers at this final concert will be entered into a drawing to win their choice of four admission passes to Shedd Aquarium, two admissions to Second City, or a $50 gift card to Wal-Mart. Volunteers must be at least 16. Call Stevie Armbruster at (630) 593-5473 or e-mail sarmbruster@marklund.org, or visit www.marklund.org.
