For the past 10 years, Healing Hands for Haiti has operated in a medical clinic in Port Au Prince. HHH's buildings were largely destroyed by the recent earthquake and two people died in those buildings. HHH, whose U.S. headquarters are in the Twin Cities, will be the beneficiary of a concert Thursday night featuring the Castaways of "Liar Liar" fame.

Also perfomring will be Black Cat Bone (blues), Wild Honey and the Locusts (gospel), and the Kronick Quartet (jazz) from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus,1114 American Blvd. W. (near 494 & Lyndale), Bloomington. Admission is $15. The event also will have a live auction..
