Elburn concert to benefit the Mennerick family

Friends of Skip Mennerick, a 29-year-old Elburn resident who died last October, are holding a memorial concert in his honor at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 27, at the Arcada Theatre, 105 E. Main St. in St. Charles.

Proceeds from the concert will benefit his wife and two young children. Mennerick died in an accident fixing cars at his home.

The Skip Mennerick Memorial Concert will be headlined by August, a local band known for its horn-driven rock, soul and R&B music, which includes many personal friends of the Mennerick family.

August will be joined by special guest Greg Boerner, a guitarist/singer/songwriter who performs a Southern-style mix of blues, folk, country and roots rock 'n' roll.

General admission tickets cost $25 and may be purchased in advance on the Arcada website, www.thearcada.com, or at Rejoice Lutheran Church, 0N377 N. Mill Creek Drive, Geneva, (630) 262-0596. Doors open at 6 p.m. for the 7 p.m. concert.
