Keyboard battle
AM Rotary Club hosts dueling pianos fundraiser tomorrow
While that may sound somewhat ominous, it will actually be an evening of great entertainment when two talented artists perform in a piano duel co-hosted by the Plymouth AM Rotary and the Passport to Service clubs.
The “duelists” will be musicians Geff Phillips and Mike Carey, who will perform in tandem and singularly as they demonstrate their piano skills, performing musical favorites and taking requests from the crowd. Singing along is encouraged, organizers said.
The event will begin at 7 p.m. tomorrow, Oct. 24, at The Plymouth VFW Hall, located at 1426 Mill St. Tickets are $50 per person.
Proceeds from this high-energy musical event will go toward the international End Polio Now campaign of Rotary members. To date, the Rotary organization has played a key role in the immunization of more than 2.5 billion children across 122 countries. Rotary members have contributed over $2.9 billion to the cause. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has a matching program that triples every dollar Rotary contributes.
While significant progress has been made, the fight to eradicate polio is not over, local Rotary Club members noted. World Health Organization leader Sunil Bahal explained that “Polio anywhere is a risk everywhere.”
The local fundraising event tomorrow is part of the global effort to “finish the job” organizers said.
Tickets may still be available at the door, and more information is available at (734) 288-7196 or on the Plymouth AM Rotary Club website. The morning Rotary Club was founded in 1996 and members meet from 7 a.m. until 8:25 a.m. at the Plymouth Arts & Recreation Complex (PARC) Door 15. Individuals who subscribe to a “Service Above Self” attitude are invited to come “try us on.” No reservations are needed.
