Club’s 89th Cabaret Celebration of Life had a very successful week.
The stars were aligned to send a cold weathered week, without any snow,
allowing everyone to come and share a new memory, Celebration of Life. The cast
delivered a high energy performance each night which brought tapping,
humming, whistling , laughter, and clapping from the audience and filled the
town hall theater with wonderful sounds. This was the ultimate wish, bringing a
big smile to the novice producer. It
has been an amazing journey which I will treasure as a new personal milestone
& celebration. I invite you all
to look at the various photo’s of the performers. Once you see their
expressions, you too will understand the level of commitment and enjoyment
depicted each night. My
gratitude goes out to Leslie Woodies, Director, Kirsten McKinney, Choreographer,
and Steve Bergman, Music Director, as well as, Mike Condon, Mike McTeague, and
Mark Smith, who delivered their individual and
theater expertise in support of the
Winton Club Cabaret. In
addition, the Winton Club Cabaret could not occur each year without the support
of the Winton Club women , and stage crew members, all who volunteer numerous
hours and invest their person time and dedication. Big Hugs to all! On
behalf of the Winton Club, I would like to extend a huge thank you to all of our
sponsors, patrons, advertisers,& donors for supporting the Winton Club’s
Cabaret 2010, and on behalf of Winchester Hospital. It’s
important as a community that we continue to embrace medical programs, research,
and technologies which allow us all to enjoy a healthier life, filled with many
milestones, and lot’s of
celebrations. Enjoy
the year and all of your own celebrations! Thanks- Deb ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
