The Amherst Club's Cabaret
Saturday, March 14, 2015 Hadley Farms Meeting House 41 Russell St., Hadley
The event raised some $12,000 for the following local service organizations:
In addition we have supported a Youth Community Service Awards--offered
in partnership with the Amherst Boys' and Girls' Club--for local school
students. ➢ The venue was Hadley Farms Meeting House, located on Route 9 near where AAA and the Hadley Village Barn used to be. This was a gracious and welcoming spot with plenty of free parking and handicapped access. ➢ Dinner was an elegantly catered buffet. ➢ Hosts were Senator Stan Rosenberg and Representative Ellen Story. Emcee was Amherst Club founding member and raconteur par excellence, Bill Hart. ➢ The evening started with The Gypsy Wranglers playing while all enjoyed fancy hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar. ➢ Entertainment continued with a variety of music and song to lift your spirits--all on the theme of Spring. The emphasis was on blues and jazz standards in the tradition of the great American song book. ➢ On stage was legendary New Orleans saxophonist Charles Neville, the Green Street Trio (with pianist Paul Arslanian, drummer Bob Weiner, bassist George Kaye) and sax man Carl Clements, vocalists Catherine Jensen-Hole and Torin Moore. ➢ A Silent Auction of valued items and gift certificates took place in the foyer. ➢ The ticket price of $75 offered a great evening in exchange, and, more importantly, all proceeds went to local charities. |
