The Season is upon us, it’s time for fall, pumpkins, and cooler weather. But it is also time for our annual "Have a Heart Program". A time when we strive to give back to the community of Boulder City that has given so much to us.
Boulder City Circle Does Cole Porter for Emergency Aid
The Boulder City Circle will perform the music of Cole Porter in a cabaret concert that will take place on Friday evening, October 23, at the St. Andrew Catholic Church Hall, 1399 San Felipe Drive, Boulder City, Nevada.

The orchestrations will feature Charlie Shaffer on piano, Arno Marsh on sax, and Bob Baker on bass. The vocalists will be Phil Marcus Esser, Laura Shaffer, Mike Miele, Susan Slykerman, Nancy Porter, Alyson Tobler, and Justin Keogh. Once again, Greg Langley will be the narrator. All proceeds will benefit Boulder City Emergency Aid. Tickets are $20 each and can be purchased at Plaza Realty, 581 Hotel Plaza St. Boulder City, NV. 293-2440. The doors will open at 6:15PM with the performance at 7:00PM on Friday, October 23, 2009.
