Sunday, April 14th we were honored to perform for our CT AMVETS Because We Care Day at Rocky Hill VA Hospital.
We had a great time seeing all of our old friends like Al and Pat Duff, Ed Bissonette, Rod Bissonette, Donna and Frank and many more! Richie Duff started out with his black belt karate demonstration. Amanda started our show with the National Anthem.
We were able to perform many group numbers as well as solos.
Amanda, Stacy and Kimberly donned their service jackets, which were donated to Kimberly by our Veteran Friends, and sang the Andrew Sisters Medley.
Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy!
Our newest members, Christi and Joyce, performed solos. Christi, fresh off a run of Hello Dolly in the lead role of Dolly Levi, performed a number from the show. Joyce sang Celine Dion's Power of Love.Our Jr. Glory Girls, Carolyn and Chelsea were not to be outdone! We promised them a Valentine and they got it - when Carolyn performed a song with that same title. Chelsea sang Colors of the Wind from Pocohantas. The show ended with God Bless the U.S.A. L-R: Chelsea, Kimberly, Amanda, Carolyn, Jenn, Joyce, Stacy and Amanda.
Amanda's Grandfather is Eugene Migliaro - former Mayor of Wolcott and champion of Veterans Affairs. He is the Commissioner for the Department of Veterans Affairs for Connecticut. He honored us with his presence and his praise. We were most pleased and honored to receive plaques from Mr. Migliaro.
