Okay, so we couldn’t really SEE it but they DID go The Full Monty!

If you didn’t see the show, I’m so sorry! It was FABULOUS! The actors were amazing. Truly. Brave, too – local guys who get up on stage and take off their clothes in front of their family and friends? I don’t know that I’d be so brave.

If I were a man and I were in the show, I’d have wanted Nicholas Mumma’s role of Ethan. If you don’t know why then you haven’t seen the show! Mike Artis as Malcolm was sweet and I loved him. Greg Laux’s Jerry Lukowski was spot on – I think I might actually know that guy! I spent the entire night trying to figure out why on earth I knew Sandra Davis (Pam Lukowski) and I still couldn’t figure it out. And let me not forget the scene stealer – Alec Banner as Nathan Lukowski. He got to see the Big Bad F Word on stage and it cracked us all up.

It was a fabulous performance and all of the performers and the production team were key to making our event a special one.

Thanks to all of you who came to the show! There are pictures on our main page, so click over there to see our Flickr PhotoStream. If you have any pictures you’ve taken that you’d like to share, please email them to me at bsharpe @ caresswm.org.






On Sunday we had our raffle drawing and the winners are ….

Brian and Jean Krueger are the lucky winners of Dinner for 6 by Chef David, a $100 gift card to Harding’s and 6 tickets to the Barn Theatre. I wonder who they’ll be inviting?

Richard Mann of Portland will spend the day relaxing a Pura Vida Salon and Spa and have a gift basket of products to duplicate the experience at home.

Diane Kehrle will enjoy 4 hours of handyman services and $50 of product from Wenke Greenhouses to help make her garden more beautiful this spring.

If you see them, help us congratulate them!
