EVENTS - 2005
A KLEZMER CONCERT & DESSERT EVENING -
Sunday, Sept. 25th -Hands were clappin', feet were tappin',
and those members fortunate to attend our first annual
Klezmer Concert and Dessert Evening were totally OVERWHELMED
by the entertainment. The Harry Frank Klezmer Band consisted
of five of the finest musicians ever to be heard - Harry;
Pianist Ritchie; Trumpet, Randy; Drummer, Jerry; and from
Russia, Violist, Eddie - each performing individually,
as well as together. They all also sang and told stories
and each "could have been a show unto himself,"
as one guest commented.
With 300 in attendance, the room was packed, but some
found space to dance the Hora when sounds of Hava Nagila
enveloped the room. After an incredible 1-1/2 hour performance,
everyone enjoyed an array of scrumptious desserts consisting
of a variety of special cheesecakes, yummy chocolate eclairs,
cookies of every description, huge chunks of delicious
fresh fruit and coffee.
Our thanks to ANITA BAKER, who discovered this group and
arranged for them to perform for us, as well as the many
members on her committee. It was truly a night that will
long be remembered.

TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME-
Fifty members of the Philadelphia Club attended a Phillies-Marlins
baseball game at Pro Player Stadium on April 13, 2005.
Everyone had a great time. Our bus driver was terrific,
as was the weather. The only bad news about the trip was
that the Phillies lost 4-0.
Special thanks to Sheldon Kenin for putting it all
together, chairing the event.
