Members Who Went Said:
In my opinion the show was well run, timely and fun!One reason I went is because I am a supporter of Food Bank of Contra Costa and the other is that I am familiar with shows put on by Samantha's group, specifically, ML Parr and the British gentleman who accompanys her. The audience participation like a contest was original and the MC delightful. He was present at Rossmoor the following day. Thanks for the opportunity to critique the show. Joy
