A benefit to help defray the medical expenses for local musician, Chester
Daigle, will be
held on Thursday June 12, 2008 at 6:30PM in the Buccaneer Room of the Lake
Charles
Civic Center. Chester has been declared legally blind and needs surgery to help
restore
some of his vision.

A local legend in the arts and cultural community for over 25 years, DaigleÕs
music and
warm personality has been enjoyed at the Lake Charles Country Club, Pujo St.
Cafe,
Graywood, La Truffe Sauvage Restaurant, Pioneer Club, and many other places.
Musical
groups led by Chester have performed at countless weddings and society events
over the
years. In recent years, many have enjoyed the great dance music of ChesterÕs
group, ÒCity
HeatÓ

Beyond the Lake Area, Chester also toured with the national revival ensemble of
the
Broadway hit production of "Dreamgirls" with the Tony and Grammy award winning
artist,
Jennifer Holliday, who sang the show-stopping signature song "And I'm Telling
You I'm
Not Going".

Tickets for the benefit are $50 and will include a silent auction, cocktail
reception,
dinner/dance, and a musical roast and tribute presented by many of the artists
who have
performed with Chester. Tables begin at $500 with seating for up to ten people.

This is an opportunity to lend support to a man that has helped to make our
community
such a great place to live and celebrate life. The event is tax deductible with
all proceeds
going to the Chester Daigle II Medical Fund in care of Capitol One Bank, Lake
Charles, LA.
Thanks in advance for your generosity,
Shady Patton
