BRIARCLIFF ROTARY WEEKLY ROUNDUP
November 29, 2009.
In lieu of our usual luncheon at the Briarcliff Recreation Center (it was the day after Thanksgiving), we dined this week at the world-famous Squire’s Restaurant and Bingo/Whist Facility.
It was marvelous.
Things start off to a roaring start with Sy Yuter’s hilarious impersonation of Jimmy Stewart’s version of Kate Smith’s rendering of “God Bless America”, while doing her hair. This was followed by The U.S. Treasury Secretary’s (he flew in especially for the occasion!) riveting discussion of our mounting National Debt. (He told us it was very, very large.) Then, things built to an absolutely thrilling climax with The Radio City Music Hall’s Rockettes’ rendering of “God Bless America”, all the while displaying gigantic photographs of Paul Rosen, delivering a talk on Gypsy Rose Lee’s marvelous impression of Richard Nixon, taking a shower....
As I say, it was marvelous. You really should have been there. Really, you should have!
Well…maybe next year.
