Sayville volunteer Firefighter/EMT Eric Diaz, drummer for Miss Alibi, is donating his time along with his band mates at a fundraiser on March 19th to help a Lynbrook firefighter, who became handicapped in an accident and is in need of a handicapped accessible van.

Miss Alibi's Bassist Stuart Levine was asked if the band would do a paid performance at a Lynbrook Truck Company fundraiser for Ex-Captain Lenny Llewellyn. He brought the proposal back to the band. Being a volunteer firefighter, Eric felt especially close to the cause and asked his band mates,Vocalist Heather Little and Guitarist Nero F. Roxxx, Bassist Stuart Levine, to consider donating their time and talent to benefit a brother firefighter. Members of Miss Alibi, a top 40/party rock cover band, quickly agreed to forego their fee and perform live music during this event.

Eric, a drummer for most of his life, has been a volunteer firefighter in the Sayville FD since 2004. The volunteer spirit of Diaz and many other volunteer firefighters often extends beyond their commitment to serve in emergency situations. They are brave neighbors who stand ready to answer a variety of calls for help.

As information, the Lynbrook Truck Fundraiser for Ex-Captain Lenny Llewellyn will be held at the Lynbrook Fire Department at 184 Earle Avenue. The cost is $40pp, which includes food, beer, wine, soda, corned beef and cabbage…and Live Music by Miss Alibi. Tickets are available in advance or at the door.
