Comedy Night Fundraiser
"Laughter is the closest distance between two people." Victor Borge... On March 20, many had the chance to beat the winter blues by attending our First Annual Dinner and Comedy Night at the Belle Notte restaurant in East Haven. Stand-up headliners Harry Freedman and Johnny Rizzo had everyone roaring with laughter, with their professional comedy experience from the clubs of Las Vegas and national TV to corporate boardrooms. Freedman and Rizzo are two comics who truly provided first-rate entertainment.
The evening was made possible in part by event sponsorships by People's Bank and Belle Notte and table sponsorships by Laborers Local Union #455 and the Bank of Southern CT.
