A couple of weeks have passed and I’m finally able to give you a wrap-up on our fundraiser to benefit Turning Point of the Lehigh Valley.
I promised that this would be a very special show, with music and spoken word, and a unique combined effort to create a very spontaneous, pop-up chorus – and we sure did come through on that promise.
First of all, my very sincere thanks goes out to
Beth Sherby
Karen & Amy Jones
Dierdre Van Walters
Danielle Notaro
Julia Gross
and special guests Jeremy Aguiar and Andy Killcoyne
Thank you also to Phil Forcelli and his crew – Ed and Ginny – for providing a fabulous sound system.
And thanks to Donna Mugavero for handling the ticket sales.
Last but not least, I couldn’t do these things without the love and support of my incredible wife, Gail Lehman, who took care of hospitality, and loading gear out at the end of the night.
At the end of the day, we raised $600 for Turning Point, somewhat short of my goal to reach $1000. I’m not discouraged, however. The music was incredible, and everyone involved brought their very best to the stage. We shared a strong message of empowerment, respect, trust, and love. And that will stay with us for a very long time.
Here are a few photos from the show. Thanks to Brian McCloskey for documenting the event.
