28 | OHCC LIVING | MARCH 2024 | Music Lovers Greetings music lovers throughout OHCC! It is with a grateful heart that I thank those of you who came to our Musical Variety Show last month. It was more successful than I'd ever dreamed it would be and there's no better audience in town than our wonderful residents and club members! Over 190 of you came to EACH SHOW! For a first effort as a club, it was a knockout, and as a novice director, I am humbled by your enthusiasm and praise for our show. I want to thank all our performers, musicians, singers, and dancers alike again! Lawrence Aiken, Janie Arens, Larry Bean, Harvey Bernstein, Mike Cea, Bin Crow, Brad Davidson, Tim Griffin, Sheri McMurry, Donnalee Singer, Fran Stephens, Taka Stephens, Beverly Taylor, Lynn Wheeler, you were all wonderful, and I appreciate all your hard work and dedication in perfecting and performing your acts. Morey Sherman, our MC, and comic relief was a standout! Having rocked the house last month, look for more chances to see him perform locally. Charmayne Huntley did a remarkable job on the graphics for our ads, posters, flyers, tickets, and programs. She, along with our cast members doubling as stage crew, did an excellent job getting the behind-the-curtain scenes ready to go. A huge thank you goes to our costume advisor and set designer, Janie Arens, who did an amazing job on a very meager budget. To those club members who delivered flyers, sold tickets, got the word out and volunteered at the doors before each show, I am in your debt. Our club is a success because of all the support, talent, and camaraderie that we enjoy together. Finally, we are so grateful to our AV team of volunteers for video, lighting, and audio who made us look and sound fantastic! To those of you who were unable to come to the show, you are in luck! There were so many volunteers from the AV team that we were able to have our shows recorded, and soon you'll all be able to enjoy the show via the OHCC channel on Cox TV. As we settle into March, our club is proud to continue providing free music opportunities for all, and we hope to see you at our upcoming events. Coffee House Mondays: March 4, 11, 18, and 25 from 9:30 to 11:30 am in the Clubhouse lobby. Come enjoy our talented club members who volunteer their music each week for your entertainment! Villagers Concert: March 22, Abravanel Hall. Spring Theme! 6 to 8 pm. BYO beverages and snacks/desserts will be provided! All are welcome!. Wishing all our members with birthdays this month a wonderful celebration and many happy returns. Carol St. James, Taka Stephens, Tim Griffin, Joella Conover, Joyce Rice, Barbara Frigge and David Ettinger. Respectfully submitted by Debbie Cea
