Humiliation, not humility, for United Way

Not a big fan of “Jeopardy”? Seen “Men in Black” so often you can recite Will Smith’s lines? “Survivor” taken on a different meaning in these economically trying times?
Try the alternative to TV this evening and come watch me humiliate myself – along with a troupe of others – to benefit United Way of Rockland at the Holiday Inn in Suffern as part of “Way Off Broadway.”
It’s billed as a lip sync and talent show, but I’m still trying to figure out where the talent is hidden in the act I’ve been asked to join.
John Murphy did the recruiting, pulling together a ragged bunch including myself, community leader Hector May, Our Town Publisher Arthur Aldrich, Harold Peterson of Provident Bank, Clerk to the County Legislature Larry Toole, Assemblyman Ken Zebrowski, Sheriff James Kralik and District Attorney Tom Zugibe, among others.
The only hint I’ll give as to what we’ll be doing is this: Our choreographer is Larry McKeever of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Division III.
For just $50, you can help a lot of people help a lot more people this holiday season.
The admission covers an hour of cocktails (there’s a cash bar) and hors d’oeuvres from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.
At 7 p.m., it’s curtain time—or maybe curtains—for a bunch of acts including my group, the Rockland Idols.
If you make it to the end of the show, there’s a reception at which you can have dessert and coffee and mingle with “the stars,” whomever they might be.
We’re expecting it will be fun for us and for the audience, too.
