Oneida Nation, Green Bay Packer Alumni Fundraiser bring "Smokey Robinson" to Radisson Green Bay, Wis. - With all of the Lambeau Field grand opening events taking place the week of September 1st - what better way to wrap up a busy week than by kicking back and enjoying a great concert? The Green Bay Packers Alumni, in partnership with the Oneida Nation, will host a very special event at the Radisson Hotel and Conference Center on Sunday night, September 7th, 2003 featuring legendary Grammy Award winner Smokey Robinson. Proceeds will ben- efit the Packers Alumni "Caring for Kids" programs through the Green Bay Boys & Girls Clubs as well as the Green Bay Packers Foundation. "It is a night of legends," said Packers Alumni President John Fabry. "We'll have more than 100 Packers and NFL alumni participating in this event and the entertain- ment will be provided by the man who made Motown great, Smokey Robinson. And to make the evening even more special, Smokey will be performing with members of the Green Bay Symphony Orchestra. Fans will not want to miss this." Robinson has had more than two-dozen Top 40 pop hits with the Miracles and he also wrote or produced many of Motown's most popular songs for artists such as the Temptations. As a performer, Robinson is known for some of the most romantic pop songs of our time, including "The Way You Do The Thing You Do," "You Really Got a Hold On Me," "The Tracks of My Tears," "I Second That Emotion" and "The Tears of a Clown." In 1987, Robinson was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 1988 he retired as the vice president of Motown, Full prize drawing rules for HONOR forms, printed by the Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin, will be also be posted in the Kahliwisaks and over Tribal-wide Groupwise. accepted; no facsimiles or photocopies will be accepted.
