Note-Ables Fundraiser "An Evening of Romance"
Atlantis Casino Resort Spa Grand Ballroom, 3800 S. Virginia St., Reno, NV
Fall in love again, dancing with Cami Thompson and the 17-piece Big Band sound of the Reno Jazz Orchestra, while raising money for a great charity. This the 7th Annual Valentines event for The Note-Ables, a nonprofit organization that provides musical opportunities for adults and children with disabilities. Cami and RJO have performed several times for this event, and in 2006 this evening was digitally recorded on 24 tracks. Cami has just released her 6th CD, "Swing! Swang! Swung!" - 14 songs from that night which were edited and mastered into a seamless concert-style album. Guests can buy this new CD at the event, and $4 from each CD sale will be donated to the Note-Ables. If you can't attend, purchase the CD on Cami's website before March 1st, and the donation will be made as well.
Guests will be enthralled by the evening's offering of classic American standards, unique jazz tunes, romantic ballads, and high-energy big band numbers. The theme for this year is The Roaring 20s! The Note-Ables will perform several songs at the start of the evening. Then guests can take to the floor to the swinging sounds of the Big Band Era and 1920's nostalgia. Period attire welcome! So play along -dress up in flappers dresses, boas, striped suits and spats! In addition to unforgettable music, guests will enjoy hors d'oeuvres, desserts, complimentary champagne, lots of dance space, a spectacular silent auction, and Cami's live "scat-auction" of 2 fabulous "Stay and Play" packages from the Atlantis, as well as the fundraising auction. To purchase tickets, please call The NoteAbles at (775) 324-5521, or visit their website and purchase via PayPal. Tickets can then be mailed to you, or you can pick them up at Will Call or at the Note-Ables office. In the past few years, this wonderful event has almost sold out. Many of our guests declared it was the best event they had been to in YEARS! So get your tickets early - and get those dance shoes dusted off! This is THE Valentine's event to attend!

"Music is a gift, and everyone with a love of music should to be able to express themselves with it," Thompson said, "That is why this performance with The Note-Ables is so special -- to make sure these musicians can continue to sing, play instruments, write songs and perform."
