Music and memories draw in the money
USEFUL CONTACTS
A cabaret show with big names organised by the Chinese Women's Association
raised over $100,000 for the Henderson Senior Citizen's Home
THE oldest women's association in Singapore has built up a formidable
network of contacts in its 84 years of existence. And now, the Chinese
Women's Association has put these contacts to good use in fundraising.
In its gala dinner performance yesterday, all the actors and singers,
most of them familiar names, performed free. The cabaret show, Thank You
For The Memories, was to raise funds for the Henderson Senior Citizen's Home.
The CWA owns the home and has been managing it since 1978.
Among the big names in the show was the musical director, Phil Shapiro.
Flying in from Britain to direct the show, he has over 40 years of experience
in music and is well-known in the drama scene there.
Appearing on stage last night were popular homegrown singer Kit Chan,
her sister Jo Chan, also an accomplished performer, Perfect 10 DJ Georgina
Chang, Elvis impersonator Wilson David, and Fame Awards semi-finalist Zachary
Mosalle, among others.
The show was devised by John Faulkner, one of the pioneers who set up the
Lasalle School Of Drama here in 1991. He was roped in by his wife, Cecilia,
one of the 300 members of the women-only association. Subsequently, Shapiro
and the others were brought in through various personal contacts. For
instance, the Chan sisters were students of Faulkner's drama classes at
Lasalle.
Said Mrs Faulkner, who assisted with the show: "This is a chance for members
to enjoy themselves, yet at the same time raise funds for a worthy cause."
The cabaret performance, which reflected the years that have passed since
CWA was founded in 1915, featured music and songs by Irving Berlin, George
Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim, Andrew Lloyd-Webber and
Dick Lee. While David, as Singapore's Elvis, performed a hit from G.I.
Blues, Kit Chan sang selections from her musical Snow.Wolf. Lake and Miss
Saigon.
All 38 tables for the performance were snapped up, raising over $100,000
for the Henderson home.
