Kalamazoo Gazette: Rebuilding Sarkozy Bakery

Sarkozy Bakery was destroyed by fire in February and the community rallied around owner Judy Sarkozy urging her to repoen. The Kalamazoo Gazette reports she is in negotiations with a property owner in downtown Kalamazoo for a new location.

A benefit concert to raise money for the bakery has been set for Sept. 8. Pianist Phyllis Rappeport organized the event that will feature some of the Kalamazoo area’s most well-known musicians.

"My immediate response to the news of the fire, after some tears, was to put together a benefit concert," Rappeport told the Gazette. "Music brings people together and speaks to them as nothing else can, so the idea of a concert was a natural."
