Tickets On Sale Now! Join us for our annual summer Soiree! The Boomer Babes are high-octane, hilariously irreverent musical entertainers who celebrate and lovingly skewer the Baby Boomer experience with zany wit, powerhouse harmonies, and spot-on song parodies. Vocal dynamo duo Pam Peterson and Jan Slavin don’t just sing — they schmooze, strut, and theatricalize life’s joys and absurdities from the ‘50s to the present with gut-busting humor and warm affection for their generation. From Beatles spoof medleys and plastic-surgery pleas set to “Mr. Sandman” to cleverly crafted political spoofs and aging-with-attitude parodies, the Boomer Babes bring both a sharp comic edge and true vocal prowess to their performances. One critic raves that Still Rockin’ balances the laughs with heart, celebrating friendship and life with toe-tapping musicality and love.
Fee Includes: Entry, Refreshments &amp; Buffet Lunch to be served at 11:30AM.

In recognition of their work to better the lives of our military heroes, K9s for Veterans, Nfp has been chosen by Sterk Family Law Group, P.C. as the Non-Profit Hero of the Month. 
This charitable volunteer organization brings hope and healing to those who have defended our nation&rsquo;s freedom.
K9s for Veterans, Nfp rescues dogs from high-kill shelters and trains them to become service dogs for veterans living with PTSD and/or a TBI. 
The program is literally a lifeline for BOTH the dogs and the humans, by saving two lives at the same time. 
The rescued dogs are given a second chance at life while providing companionship, support, and stability to the people who served our country.
 K9s for Veterans covers the cost of food and basic medical care for the entire life of every single service dog they place. The dogs receive lifelong care, with no financial burden for the veteran or their family. 
Gwendolyn J. Sterk interviewed Dan Miller from K9s for Veterans for a podcast. To learn more about the work they do, watch the video or listen to the podcast.
