we had the wonderful sam from a promoter and but you know people haven't bought as many tickets as i expected this year and i really recommend it for folks because beyond the fact that sam was amazing and fantastic it was really a great show and this one is going to focus on the top five winners top five winners and they'll also have the number seven runner up to go and do some cuts between the acts but it will be a lot of action a lot of seeing and tyana and raylan and jacks just a lot of great things that group but i think it's going to catch on like man i mean you know now that we're into the summer some people are looking for things and it is july eighth and it's at eight o'clock and it was fantastic last year so i recommend everybody run out and get a ticket this is a show everybody will enjoy even if you didn't see american idol right you could enjoy the concert your love it's great and then we got some shows on sale for next year and we just put one on sale recently a show that i'm so excited about john cleese and eric they are going to be doing individual songs as well as doing a couple from that fantastic broadway show and that is on november the nineteenth right and we have a little video of this is well we have a lot of you are today a fourth oh ok sorry that's a little further right if you come november nineteenth you're going to be is about this tall and we saw on price are on broadway on the twentieth century and at one point the guy who's playing her romantic lead and carl who had played rocky year before on broadway uses her like a barbell and he lifts her up so you know because i think she weighs eighty pounds well you know and chris of course is coming on saturday february the twenty seventh and she was recently the host of the tony awards and we had the chairman of our board  while and we went for the broadway lee conference and i went in to meet with agents and things like that because i'm always trying to get shows to come here but you saw the tony award winning best music was like a david and goliath and i went and saw the whole but i couldn't believe how and alan cummings and he looks down at her and he's like it's fun home and i thought you know it's very funny but i saw some great shows i saw helen mirren in the audience where she plays queen elizabeth and of course she won the tony award does and then the first show that opened the tonys was a show called something's rotten yes and that is a terrible if you like musical comedy or theater you've got to see this show it's so funny and christian borel one of the tony for best supporting actor and he plays shakespeare is this rock star and he has a song called it's hard to be the bard you know and just really really funny you were lucky to see that i did not make the cut i didn't take it for that so next year also next year but  awards which i think was something because it's one of the he's one of the biggest you know hollywood producers is a show called finding never i never land yes i loved it and it's all about the author how you got and so you know you and i got around in new york and saw a lot of shows the decision to split up made since we got this cover a lot going for a lot of things and i really think it's fantastic so just remind your folks when you're ordering tickets for the van ways will call us on the phone nine five three three three six eight or go to w w w then ways will dot org and again make sure you're on the official website to buy tickets because these secondary websites are selling tickets at i'm sure you're going to start seeing john cleese tickets for like three hundred for one hundred dollars on the secondary market so make sure you go to the right one of the our box office starting on friday they'll be selling john cleese right away for you over well actually it's already on sale sale you know but it's it's i think sometimes the confusion is we take a little earlier than the shown but please do and i think it's going to be great so anyway we will be back with you in a moment after the end ways where we're going to be talking to the rotary club oh wow that's a good question and i tell you the reason i joined rotary which was many years ago and it was because of that was that what other group in the entire world the two big missions are to eradicate polio and end world peace wow i mean who wouldn't want to be part of that or not the one pretty much contained right right now we're at peace yeah world peace in fact there rotary international support scholarships for for peace negotiations across the  well cross the world and i think that there's not a better mission and i can say when i was a member they would do fantastic work you know like we had people going down to haiti and places like that to try to help and then on the local level backpacks for kids and just fantastic barbe what is the what is the mission of the local chapter what is what do you like to focus on we like to focus on a lot of local charities and there are some things that we've been doing for as long as thirty five years in the end end of january beginning of every year we sponsor the school bus rodeo which originally was just that school bus drivers from sarasota county gather together and they are taught and they learn how to drive a car the buses from thailand pass it and they learn a lot of different skills and they win prizes and it was very very successful to the point that other counties all over the state of florida have since copied that another under the auspices of are not necessarily there rotary clubs but that in a rage because you know your club has been a sponsor of the band ways will for a long time and by helping us with friday fest with volunteers and things like that but one of the big things is we have twenty five thousand children that ride school buses here to the van ways all every year and through our foundation they receive free bus you know driving and i can't imagine a more worthy thing than to teach the people that are driving our children around how to do a better job that you should be commended thank you you also do a lot for the arts here i know can you give me a few of the projects that you're you're working on now sure one of the things that we did just recently is the v p a program at booker high school you familiar  one performing arts we did a sponsorship for that not a sponsorship we actually gave them money and for us a specific program that they were working on and one of our members of our rotary club is john kavanagh and john  instrument and he donated two thousand dollars worth of strains to their strings program oh isn't that wonderful they were thrilled john's a member of our foundation group here at the hall you know and he's always very excited when i have a famous like this year we have josh bell coming in so he's very excited and next year i have a long long coming so it you know he gets very excited when i have people like that and of course i should say i know you in a different life in your job you know with  i recently was over there speaking because you folks have a small theater that you're renovating and i do want to great organization that is as well thank you very much yes we're excited about the possibilities for pilgrim halls with the name of our venue is where we've put a group together called pilgrim hall opportunities planning and i'm one thing i know is rotary is made up of a lot of different kinds of individuals are they both retired people and current business people and how could someone who would like to join and because i know you will you meet every week here at the van ways all with you could have a better view for lunch and it is spectacular you know sitting in a grand foyer and i know you have i remember singing and you know just a great program how would people get in contact with you and know whether they would fit in the rotary group john answered i can they can go to rotary dot org and look look for where clubs meet and enter sarasota and then look us look us up underneath that for the rotary club of sarasota bay they can go to our rotary called the sarasota beta come web site and our rotary district is district six nine six zero dot com and so do you can you be retired or do you have to be a were you working or what was the original there was everybody the original the original four members of  original rotary club that was started in one thousand five were all working people but if you are working in a super supervisory position and or retired from a supervisory position usually you know that but it doesn't necessarily mean that it's just limited to that there used to be categories or different areas where you could only have so many members of each but it's opened up considerably so that you can have a lot more people and a lot of it what i liked about rotary was that when i moved from western new york where i had been in rotary since one thousand nine hundred six and came down here i looked around and went to the various clubs and i walked in here and three people knew where i was from once i was greatly new someone i knew and i felt like i belonged and it gives people the ability to move from place to place yet find like minded people wherever they go just by looking for rick perry and that's a great way to make friends to do something good for the community and i believe you are slogan is the friendliest club in the world and i could tell you they're great and friendly please also come to friday fest you will see members of the rotary club here friday for us helping assisting people volunteering and i couldn't re recommended higher and so please get in touch with with these ladies and come out and help because it's a really valuable valuable asset for the community and i want to say thank you again for all the years and years of support to the van ways will and we will be back in what happens when people take action against housing discrimination my coworker was pressured by her landlord to pay her rent with sexual favors my neighbor was told she needs to get rid of her dog even though he's an assistant housing it this is anthony anthony is wanted every sure yes and he is wanted everywhere will almost everywhere because recently when anthony went with his parents to find a new place to live it's over just because guy half hour how can his parents tell him the color of their skin is keeping them from this apartment it's not just unfair it's illegal like to file a complaint so anthony's parents filed a housing discrimination complaint and now they have a wonderful place to live if you've been trying to buy or rent a home or apartment and you believe you've been discriminated against because of your race color religion national origin sex to millions status or disability call at one eight hundred six six nine nine seven seven seven or  college while i left was in new york and it didn't seem anything to do with it or my biggest problem is you know you go to lunch every week you know but as they say you can make it up in other ways and things like that but i recommend the rotary club to anyone but subscriptions  subscriptions online which makes it even more convenient those words right right louise get on board here and our subscription packages are different for each series but for rodway we have like four or five of them you can buy or entire broadway group ten you can bribe the first half for the second half or you know because people come and go in this community so much you could have picked for more right and so that's nice and each of them have discounts or up to twenty percent so i don't know yet of course you get the best seats before the public gets a chance to get in thing to be a subscriber but of course the biggest show of the year at the hall and and august the end of august will be announcing all of our stars and things like that but our big show of the year is book of mormon yes we do and that is in february february for one full week are going like box office people tell me the subscribers almost always because they're not on single tickets yet though they won't be able to at least august or september so this is the best way to get your book of mormon ticket because it is the hottest ticket in the entire country and we early i think yes it's october fourteenth we're teens right perfect show perfect thing for the kids if you've got kids going back to school it's a great way to get out of that it's a beautiful story and then we have the producers of my favorite i love do you remember the producers when my absolute favorite my favorite is les miserables but you know the producers i don't know that they were show of a certain time and then we have buddy coming in january and then those dancing feet forty second street will be here joseph of the amazing technicolor dreamcoat and that is coming in march three and four and joseph is one of those shows that you can see a hundred million times and i think i have a little bit of these codes and then of course we john travolta he's a really great guy had the funny thing is a lot of people especially younger people don't realize that john travolta was a musical star i mean you know he was on grease on broadway and of course he in the libyan john degrees and then saturday night show i saw it on broadway and it's a show about this legendary night you know where three union four of the greatest racist musicians of their time or you know elvis presley and jerry lee lewis and carl perkins and johnny cash johnny cash all got together at a recording studio now of course on broadway we can't take anything forbade him so we had to throw in a woman so we had some sex i thought she was not there that night but you know family's lives as well we absolutely have certainly updated itself over the years and it's like a lot of noise you know and of course we mention linda eder so it's a lot of you know a great show going to keep you busy because we're keeping us busy absolutely and then of course we have a great orchestra season one of the greatest orchestras in the country is the philadelphia orchestra and i was honored for about ten years to run the theater next door to theirs and i saw so many amazing performances there their you know they've always been classified as one of the big five they sort of say that title isn't there anymore for anyone but because there are so many more exciting orchestras coming but to me the philadelphia orchestra up there with the new york don't even you there you go and josh bell is one of the greatest violinists and of course his style of playing is so exciting and he's here this time in recitals so it will be him and i'm just just you know sometimes he performs as a soloist with an orchestra conducts  an orchestra but this is him and then we have the jerusalem symphony coming and then something that i think should be incredible fun and then tasia you know the walt disney movie right with the shock of aki an orchestra playing the music as  that's what you told me his wife told me don't ask him to dance but you know what happens that's a big musical number don't and don't ask me because i'm going to get you dancing at the gala this year we'll say but and then talking about dance we have the joffrey ballet coming that's the way i like it but anyway i want to thank you and i also want to tell real quickly we have friday fest coming up and july the july the tenth we have him bet the campbell creek band we just all you people get your country on august twenty first is yesterday's which is the most favorite band of our friday fest series and sadly every time they come it seems like it ready to go with that or
