Great concert Nov. 28th

Well we have quite a fabulous concert coming up.

It will start with the beauty of the sonorous sounds of cello and piano soaring through the space, complements of Mr. William Stokking and his wife Nancy.

Norma Meyer will follow with a dramatic piano solo. Then Mrs. Stokking will join her for cello, piano duo.

Next, do you like Dancing with the Stars? Well we have dancers Rodney Thomas and Monica Welch who will please you with a lovely ballroom slow dance, possibly a waltz. (don’t worry, they do more in the 2nd half)

Soprano Melissa Perry will delight you with an aria in a glimmering hunter green taffeta confection from Verenique Dress Shop.

And our star Donald Braswell will stun you with his handsomeness and wow you with his high notes.

Last but not least, Katrice Cornett and Highest Praise Gospel singers are prepared to send your ears and your souls through the rafters

….and that is just the first half.

Don’t you want to be there?

Why: Sara Ann’s cerebral palsy prevents her from swallowing, so she must have her throat cleared every five to 15 minutes around the clock. She is unable to hold up her head or trunk. She does, however, speak minimally and is learning to read and write. Sara Ann has been admitted to the hospital 70 times and needs several crucial therapies to continue moving forward, but the family’s insurance doesn’t cover these expensive cutting-edge treatments. Her parents cannot work on a full-time basis because of her 24/7 home health care needs, and they are also struggling with astronomical insurance bills. This fundraiser will help cover Sara’s medical bills and the needed therapies. More information about Sara Ann can be read at www.friendsofsara.com and http://momofamiracle.com
