Tonight we went to see Three Men and a Tenor. B had seen them before, but this was my first experience. WOW! I know, not a very sophisticated adjective, but these men were so impressive. Both of us strongly recommend, if you ever have a chance to see them – it is so worth it. Not only can they sing, but they are funny and just a really nice performance to watch.
The international/world community service comes in with the reason for the concert. The Rotary Clubs have, for more than 20 years, worked to eradicate polio in all countries. The concert tonight was the Washtenaw County Rotary Clubs’ fundraising effort to support the International Rotary Clubs commitment to this far reaching eradication project. The US Rotary Clubs have committed to raising $200 million in a 4 yr span (2008-12), and events like this will help them do just that. Tonight’s event was also important because during a certain time frame, the Gates Foundation has committed to matching $2.50 for every dollar the Rotary raises. So our dollars were well matched!
