Yes, the fund is for  Connick Band Members only. The web site initially did
not make that clear. The change, adding the above sentence and announcing
that it was not an "authorized" charity, was made after list mate Audrey Van
Dyke contacted them for further information and asked about who the
beneficiaries were.
