I could not do this without the help and advice of a lot of you. I won't mention the names because the one I leave out will be the angriest. So far the term is going well and with the show coming up, there are a lot of details prior to "CINEMA SHTICK." The show should be as good as those that have come before because Rod has it under control. All of us are an integral part of the show from staging, to dancing, singing and lines. As always, the show is the thing. Getting butts in the seats and ads for the ad book are important to ensure that the charities get the maximum benefit. Additionally, we need high attendance at the President's Ball and other events. Please tell your friends and anyone else you meet about the show and Paint and Powder. It is important to the success of not only the show, but the Club as well. Please visit our website at paintandpowderclub.org and send it out to everyone you know. Here is wishing you all good health and fundraising. 1 Yours, Jerry Save The Date March 12, :00pm Social 7:30pm Meeting Basta Pasta ALL MEMBERS ARE WELCOME March 28, 2018 (Wed.) 7:00pm Auditions for Cinema Shtick!
