SUMMARY:Stars to the Rescue 2009
DESCRIPTION:Please join ARF at 6:45 p.m. on Saturday\, January 10\, 20
	09 at the Lesher Center for the Arts in Walnut Creek\, California for 
	ARF's 18th anniversary Stars to the Rescue gala. Individual tickets\, 
	priced at $300\, $100 and $50 are on sale now and can be purchased by 
	calling 925.943.SHOW or online at www.lesherartscenter.org. \n\nThis f
	abulous evening of music and entertainment will include soft rock duo 
	from the 70’s and 80’s\, Air Supply. Graham Russell and Russell Hi
	tchcock became instant friends with their common love for the Beatles 
	and singing. After forming Air Supply\, they spent the late 70’s ope
	ning for Rod Stewart across Australia and throughout the United States
	 and Canada before signing with Clive Davis of Arista Records in 1980.
	 ‘Lost in Love’ became the fastest selling single in the world and
	 leaped to the top of the charts. The second single ‘All Out of Love
	’ went up the charts even faster. Seven top-five singles later\, Air
	 Supply equaled the Beatle’s run of consecutive top five singles. Th
	e albums ‘Lost in Love’\, ‘The One That You Love’\, ‘Now & F
	orever’ and ‘The Greatest Hits’ sold in excess of 20 million cop
	ies. ‘Lost in Love’ was named “song of the year” in 1980\, and
	 with the other singles sold over 10 million copies.\n\nAlso appearing
	 on stage will be Tony Orlando\, one of America's most endearing and e
	nduring stars\, who brings to the stage a warmth and exhilarating ener
	gy that electrifies an audience. From million selling records (five nu
	mber one hits)\, a popular television variety series\, movies and Broa
	dway (Barnum and Smokey Joe's Cafe)\, Tony Orlando has conquered every
	 facet of show business.\n\nA passionate lifelong music lover\, Billy 
	Bob Thornton has been playing and following music all his life. In a m
	usical universe where far too many still haven’t found what they’r
	e looking for\, Billy Bob has finally happened upon true musical happi
	ness with life as a Boxmaster. The Boxmasters are really a combination
	 of the Beatles\, the Monkees and the Turtles with Del Reeves and Buck
	 Owens and Merle Haggard — all put together.”\n\nAmerica cries out
	 for a man with the aim\, strength\, and style to hit them where it hu
	rts the funniest. Will Durst is that man. Sweeping both sides of the a
	isle with a quiver full of arrows dipped in common sense\, Durst trans
	cends party ties\, having performed at events honoring former Presiden
	ts Bill Clinton and George HW Bush as well as acclaimed appearances at
	 both a Mayors Convention and Governors Conference.\n\nOnce again\, Mo
	ving Arts Dance will grace the Lesher stage with one of their articula
	te and eloquent performances. Blending humor\, grace\, compassion and 
	sorrow with striking visual effects and athletic physicality is the tr
	ademark of Moving Arts Dance. Directed by Anandha Ray\, the company pr
	oduces works of dance art that reach into the world's emotional realit
	ies. Building on the strengths of ballet and modern styles of dance th
	ese contemporary dancers demonstrate strong classical technique blende
	d with a kinetic understanding of movement and an emotional ability to
	 arouse audiences.\n\nAccompanying Moving Arts Dance are Marc Russo\, 
	Steve George and Karl Perrazo. Marc\, a long-standing saxophonist with
	 the Doobie Brothers has been ARF’s Stars to the Rescue musical dire
	ctor for many years\, Steve who has performed at numerous Stars events
	 will be on piano\, and Karl from Santana fame will accompany on percu
	ssions.\n\nSponsorships are currently available for this exciting annu
