Social Lights: Children’s Charities Coalition’s Sing Out 4 Kids

“I will never look at you the same again,” Karen Newman said to Norman Yatooma. The Birmingham attorney had just brought down the house at Mark Ridley’s Comedy Castle when he walked on stage as Elvis Presley. He was one of a dozen good sports who hammed it up karaoke-style at Sing Out 4 Kids – a benefit for the Children’s Charities Coalition. Newman and Steve Acho emceed the fun which attracted 165 supporters of Variety, The Children’s Charity, CARE House, The Community House and Orchards Children’s Services. Before the show they supped on tasty chow catered by Cranks.

Other performers, all of whom were surprisingly good, included Huel Perkins, Carl Sterr, Brian Elias, Anne Doyle, retired Red Wing Eddie Mio, retired Detroit Tiger Scott Lusader and his pretty teenage daughter Alexis and Realtor Kathy Broock Ballard and her brother Konrad Broock. Actually, Ballard was as entertaining as her brother, who sings professionally. All their effort s combined to raise $15,000 for the coalition organizations.
