Dancers Over 40 Raise $2,500.00
at the BC/EFA Flea Market – Twice as much as Last Year!
With a battalion of volunteer members and friends, DO40 participated in their second Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS Flea Market. Pandemonium reigned, when customers lined up 50 minutes earlier than the official start time – and they were ready to spend! Cool heads prevailed with DO40 Board member Karin Baker laying down the law as to how things were going to be run. She and her husband, Greg, have been participating in the BC/EFA Flea Market for years, and Karin taught us a few helpful tips.

T-shirts! Posters! Books! Playbills! CDs! Librettos! Star Photos and autographs! It was an amazing mix of products. A big thanks to George Marcy, Bick Goss and Gitana Garcia – without their materials – and their friend’s materials, we never would have reached our goal! And remember, we’ll need more “stuff” next year! So keep looking through your closets and drawers! The Fabulous Bebe Neuwirth stopped by our booth and introduced her fiancée to us all. Bebe – smiling! And very happy! Get a picture! She also signed some of our Broadway Musical books that brought in a few hundred dollars and were also signed by Donna McKechnie, Bernadette Peters, Lee Roy Reams, Barbara Cook and Sandy Duncan, thanks to Harvey Evans. |
