Help Lynne Win!

he “Help Lynne Win” concept began just a few short T weeks ago when our friend Lynne was diagnosed with invasive lobular carcinoma. Lynne is a hardworking single Mom of two young adolescent children. As we all know, with the copayments and additional testing and treatments that insurance will not cover, financial assistance is most always necessary. Lynne is ready to beat this disease, and we hope that you will be able to help support her in her fight! Your donation will greatly enhance our fundraiser and give you added publicity as well. Your support and generosity is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your kind consideration. Warmest regards, Kathy Darras/Event Committee Director

Location: 200 Sportsmen Club, Webster, MA When: Sunday, May 1st Time: 1-6:00 pm $30.00 per person Dinner, dancing, raffles and silent auction items plus entertainment.

Moyer’s 20-year career has taken him to thirty-six countries and venues that include Santory Hall in Tokyo, the Opera House, Windsor Castle, the Ambassador Auditorium in Pasadena, Tanglewood and the Kennedy Center. His recordings comprise works by over thirty composers and reflect his affinity for a variety of styles. “Habitat for Humanity of Northeast Connecticut is proud to once again host Frederick Moyer and his music. We are fortu- nate to be able to bring a man with worldwide acclaim and talent to our area,” said Ronald P. Coderre, Habitat executive director. The Jazz Arts Trio consists of Moyer and his boyhood friends Peter Fraenkel on drums and Peter Tillotson on bass. The group will feature the music of jazz greats Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, Vince Guaraldi, Erroll Garner, Horace Silver, Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea. “The Jazz Arts trio will bring the best trio performances of these historic piano giants to the Tang Center stage all in one two hour evening.

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

Apropos of almost next to noth- ing, my mind took a wander down memory lane recently as it dawned on me it was 24 years ago this week that I drove my first-ever vehicle for review: a 1987 Saab 900 SPG. It still brings a smile to my face to think of how special that car was in terms of both handling and performance. Plus, of course, it set me down the road to this probably ill-advised career path but I'll always have fond memories of that charcoal gray SPG. Fast forward 20 years or so and I have the opportunity to once again drive a 1987 Saab SPG at a special event outside of Boston. As I sat behind the wheel, I was rudely reminded how far cars had come in two decades and what was once Photo © Hyundai amazing was now pedestrian. It The 2011 Hyundai Elantra gets 40 mpg, seats two adults and three children comfortably, and costs less than $20,000 pretty fully loaded.
