On July 30th, Merrymakers (www.merrymakers.org) will host its popular Songs & Suds event.  Held at Regency Lake and Tennis Club, guests will enjoy a fun evening of karaoke with friends in support of the local organization whose mission is to bring music and entertainment to seniors in our community.

The date has also been announced for the 25th annual Merrymakers Roast, which is set for Thursday, November 5th.  “You Want Fries With That?” will be the theme of the event, and in breaking from tradition for the 25th anniversary to roast AND toast one of Merrymaker’s greatest benefactors and advocates, the late Omaha philanthropist and longtime board member Mike Simmonds will be the guest of honor in spirit. The event, which is the primary fundraiser for the Merrymakers Association, will be held at Embassy Suites La Vista and is open to the public. Sponsorship opportunities are also available.

Now in its 29th year, Merrymakers now provides professional music for seniors in 136 facilities in Nebraska, Omaha/Council Bluffs, and central Iowa. Last year the Merrymakers musicians gave more than 1400 performances to an often overlooked segment of our population–our seniors.
