A CELEBRATION OF FRIENDS

Keeping The Dream Alive & The Family Together

"A Celebration Of Friends" weekend is a time for each of us to meet and become reacquainted with the members of our "Family" with no pressure and no timetable! While there is no registration fee (we want you to spend your hard earned money on yourself), we will be asking each registrant for a $40 charitable donation to be made in the lobby of the Deauville Resort Hotel when you arrive. More Details and info forthcoming! What we do have planned (at the Hotel) is:

While this time is your time to do what you want, when you want, where you want with whomever you want; we do have an Opening Meeting On Thursday 26 June at 8:00 PM in the Napoleon Ballroom for questions and updates on the weekend.

Joe DeBenidictis: This single forty-five year old blind "Homo from Tacoma" has been at the piano since the age of five playing everything from Streisand to Jobin. His life itself has been an adventure, hitchhiking alone not just once, but twice across our nation from coast to coast.

Recently completing a stint at the Paradise Lounge, MT Rainier National Park, Joe regularly plays solo gigs as well as with other well known national artists and was the solo pianist for a sold-out Live Theater Performance of Godspell.

A Treasure not to be missed, Joe will be playing everything from folk music, jazz, pop standards, ballads and show tunes, nightly at 8:00 PM.
