3rd Annual Motown Fundraiser Sets New Record

On Friday, October 2, 2009 about 150 Joy-Southfield supporters gathered at Genitti's Dinner Theater & Restaurant in downtown Northville for an evening of food, fun, music & dancing. After enjoying a 7-course family-style Italian feast, participants moved to the theater where the Next Generation Funk Brothers (former back-up musicians for Motown recording artists) put on an amazing performance. To paraphrase Martha & the Vandellas, we were "dancin' in the seats" (and aisles). The meal was served by guest table hosts and all of the tips received were donated to Joy-Southfield. To date, the event raised more than $20,000 and donations are still coming in. Look for the 4th Motown Fundraiser event about the same time next year.
