The Jennifer Sadow Memorial Concert, held Saturday, Sept. 28, was a successful way of paying tribute to her by bringing together her family, friends, faculty and members of the community who knew and loved her. Jennifer's death affected a lot of people. Michael Lynch, the owner of Michael's Sand­ wich Shop, chose to close his business the night of the concert out of respect for the feelings of the Sadow familly: "We felt it would be in poor taste to be open and selling alco­ hol during the concert. I lost my brother last summer, so I know what they' re going through." . Sponsored by more than 40 local busi­ nesses, the event helped fund a scholarship at Flagler in the deaf education major's name. The concert netted an estimated Jenny Sadow's mom, Betty Sadow, clowns around with Spider Monkey durin~ the second $2700 after expenses, which included· prof- half of the scholarship concert that raised about $2700. its from ticket sales and commemorative T- shirts sold in the breezeway and at the show.
