Enriching Lives – Fostering Independence
The Bridger’s helped to make 30 tie blankets to put into “comfort bags” for trauma patients at UVa!
It was a great opportunity to be able to help and give back. We hope these blankets bring comfort and smiles to those who receive them. Thank you Patty for arranging this!
Our show’s first performer was Bob Somerby who shares our belief in the power of humor. He comes by it honestly: Bob’s grandfather Rufus was a traveling entertainer and storyteller and his father Al owned the legendary Old Howard Theater in Boston. In addition to working as a comedian for over twenty five years Bob owned his own comedy club in Baltimore for 6 years and created a one man show Material World from which he presented routines at our Comedy Night including the piece ‘Blue Corn Flakes’ we’re posting.

THANK YOU BOB!
