This post comes to us from Deborah Scott, our Gift Shop & Resale Boutique retail operations manager who updates us on our first ever "Afternoon Delight Summer Series" held recently.
Our first Afternoon Delight was a great success thanks to the generous participation of one 
of Las Vegas’ fabulous performers, Audrei Kairen. We had an incredible time at the Gift Shop June 13, 2009…shopping, shopping, and shopping! What’s more, our customers sat back and relaxed to intimate jazz that afternoon. We made many new friends and customers and we were pleased to see so many of our St. Jude’s Ranch Volunteers come out to support this event! Complimentary coffee was provided by Colorado River Coffee Roasters, all inclusive with a little education of the life of a coffee bean. Thanks Sally, you really made a great presentation. Rolling the dice took on a whole new meaning, and our customers were pleased to get a wonderful discount with every roll. We look forward to our next Afternoon Delight on June 27, 2009. Shopping, savings, music and coffee….what an enjoyable way to spend the day and contributing to the support of our kids!
Upcoming Performers:
June 27, 2009:
Wallace Broadnax - Animated and dynamic is what you get with this exceptional performer. A seasoned cruise ship entertainer and accomplished artist, he is the whole package.
July 25, 2009:
Rick Pierce - Fun and exciting, a Neil Diamond treat. Rick has dazzled audiences with his tribute show. Performing all over Las Vegas, you will not want to miss this performer. You can also see Rick at the Hacienda in Boulder City June 24, 2009.
August 8, 2009:
The Queens of Myoho - This is a new concept in music explaining Buddhist information to Hip Hop, Reggae, and R&B sounds. I chose the name Queens of Myoho because Queen relates to woman in her higher state, in an exalted state where she is honored and expected.
August 22, 2009:
Coren Zai - This Blues Beauty really knows how to entertain her audiences. She performs with precision, allowing everyone to embrace her vocal talent. Performing in Las Vegas, we are happy to bring you this extraordinary talent to our Afternoon Delight Summer Series.
The second Afternoon Delight was a ton of fun. The Jingle Bell Discount game was a hit at the cash register and happy customers walked away with discounts and smiles. The entertainer, Wallace Braodnax, lit up the room with his show-stopping Broadway hits and sassy jazz standards. With the magic on stage and the coffee brewing in the air compliments of Colorado River Coffee Roasters, the shopping experience was delightful and appreciated by our customers. Don’t miss our next Afternoon Delight with guest Rick Pierce, July 25th from 1-4 pm.
