The Orange Lions Club is again hosting its annual comedy night fundraising event, “Comedy Under the Stars,” which is set for Saturday, Aug. 26 at the picnic pavilion outside High Plains Community Center. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show is scheduled to start at 8 p.m.
The event features four professional standup comedians and is suitable for mature audiences. The affair is a bring-your-own-beverage and bring-your-own-snacks event. Picnic table seating will be provided, but audience members may bring their own folding chairs if desired. There will also be a free door prize and chances for several prize raffle baskets.
Tickets for the charity fundraising event are $25 per person, available for purchase from any Orange Lions Club member or by calling Lions Ken Lenz or Marianne Miller at 203-795-3906. All proceeds go to the Lions’ charity and service events.
For more than seventy years the Orange Lions Club has supported many local charitable causes, including senior citizen and youth programs, the local food pantry, the fuel bank, annual children’s eye screenings, diabetes screenings and college scholarships for Amity High School graduates. The club also supports several foundations in Connecticut, throughout the nation and the world that aid in preventing blindness, services to the blind and sight-impaired, children’s cancer research, environmental impact and disaster relief.
