COMMUNITY SERVICE - Kevin Dewaele

Reported that four Rotarians are helping HACSM with another pick up this Friday. 

 

Opportunity to serve Jan 29-30 and Feb 4th for the Hard Road Production of Mid-Life Crisis.  See Kevin for available spots.

 

The cast of this wacky musical takes a comic look at the many "wrinkles" faced in middle-age.  From hot flashes and reading glasses to mammograms and prostate checks, audiences are sure to relate to this hilarious, and sometimes touching, musical.  Think Saturday Night Live, set to music, focused on the all-too-familiar aspects of reaching your 40s, 50s and beyond.  It doesn't matter if you are approaching, experiencing or have long passed middle-age, this show will keep you laughing...all the way to the nursing home.

 

* There's also still tickets available!
