March 21
If there’s significance to advance ticket sales and VIP seating reservations, the St. Johns High School auditorium will be a crowded venue when Elvis impersonator Jake Slater spreads the curtains Friday evening March 21. Members of Sparrow Clinton Hospital Auxiliary, sponsor of Elvis’ visit, are optimistic the evening will greatly assist in meeting their pledge of $100,000.00 toward the new emergency wing at the hospital, planned for opening early summer this year.
“Part of our excitement,” commented event chair Diane Zuker, “comes from the fact we have received ticket inquires from other parts of the state. It’s obvious Mr. Slater not only offers a wonderful two-hour show, but has a broad following as an Elvis tribute performer.”
Ms. Zuker went on to explain that the Auxiliary membership is pleased with the cooperation of St. Johns High School staff in availing the auditorium and providing advance help in preparing for the March 21 evening performance. Reinforcing that support is the participation of students who have volunteered time and assistance, such as the sound mixing team of junior Alex Rosenbaum and senior Mady Bradley. The two have worked the mixing board for numerous productions at the high school during their student years.

Advance general admission, which includes light refreshments during intermission, is $10 and $8 for adults and students, respectively. The same admissions at the door will be $12 adults and $10 students.
A select area of the auditorium has been identified as VIP seating at $25 per person which includes a special gift bag and an opportunity to meet with the performer.
Advance tickets may be secured from any Auxiliary member or by contacting Diane Zuker at dzuker@casair.net or by phone 989 224-7169 or Tammy Zuker, 517 242.6781.
