Comedy Hypnosis Show to Raise Funds for
IRHS
Swim Team
Friday, August 22, 2014, 7pm - Auditorium
On August 22nd, 2014, The Ironwood Ridge High School Swim Team will play host to a Comedy Hypnosis Show Fundraiser starring
Master Stage Hypnotist Michael DeSchalit.
Michael DeSchalit is a World Class Hypnotist who was trained in this art by none other than the Father of Modern Stage Hypnosis and Dean of American Hypnotists, Dr. Ormond McGill. Michael has over 20 years of professional performance experience and in addition to comedy hypnosis, he is a Multi-Award Winning Magician who has performed in venues such as The Four Seasons Luxury Resort in Vegas, The RMS Queen Mary, Hollywood's World Famous Magic Castle and most recently, exclusive engagements at the Circus-Circus Hotel and Casino, The Riviera Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas Nevada, and the Treasure Chest Casino in New Orleans.
The show is a fundraiser for the Ironwood Ridge High School Swim Team. This event is going to fund the many different expenses that the Swim Team incurs throughout the year. This show is a high energy show where audience volunteers become the stars of the show by acting out wild and crazy skits using only their imagination. The show is appropriate for families with children.
Showtime is Friday, August 22nd, 2014 at 7:00pm at Ironwood Ridge High School in the Auditorium which is located at 2475 W. Naranja, Oro Valley, Arizona. You may purchase tickets in advance from the Ironwood Ridge HS Swim Team by contacting Anne Fitzsimmons at (520)407-4111 or afitzsim@amphi.com, OR purchase them online at hypnoshowtickets.com. Advance purchase tickets are $5.00 for Students and $7.00 for Adults. Tickets will also be available at the door the evening of the show and are $7.00 for Students and $9.00 for Adults, but because there will only be one Show, tickets will be subject to availability.

Dear AFS volunteers, families, and friends -
It is with a happy heart that I write you today, because thanks your to responses from my previous email, we are finding host families that are excited to step up and welcome or host a student this year. A BIG THANK YOU to those of you who responded to my last email.
If you didn't see my previous email, or haven't had a chance to respond, I am writing to let you know there are students still available to choose from. To those of you who have a sense that hosting might be right for you, now is the time to take that step. Consider either being a host family for one of these students, even for a few weeks, or help us to find families now for them.
AFS families come in all shapes and sizes - from individuals to large foster families. Students bring their own spending money and medical coverage while host families provide food, a bed, and the same care and support they would give their own children. If you've already decided to host--thank you!! If you have ever considered hosting a student for 6 months, an academic year, or even 6-12 weeks as a welcome family, please let this be the time you step forward and say "yes". If you cannot host at this time, please do everything you can to find a family who might be able to.
Want to learn more about hosting: http://www.afsusa.org/host-family/.
If you would like to know how you can help AFS at this time, please contact me at 646-381-3335 or by e-mail at rlandrum@afsusa.org.
Thank you so much for your continued support of AFS now and in the future.
