Dearborn City, School Officials Join Dearborn Rotarians on Stage Tonight At Fordson High School
We all can use a little laughter after a day’s work. You’ll get a good dose of smiles simply by stopping by the Fordson High School auditorium tonight at 7 p.m. for the Dearborn Rotarians Lip Sync fundraiser.
The event has the makings of a fun night with both city and school officials taking part in lip syncing their favorite song all in the name of raising money to benefit the nearly 20 scholarships that the Rotary Club awards each year to graduating seniors from private and public schools in Dearborn.
Scheduled acts include Dearborn Mayor John B. O’Reilly, Jr., Dearborn City Councilman and Rotarian George Darany, Dearborn Councilmen Bob Abraham and Mark Shooshanian (the new Beetles?), Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano, Debbie Dingell, City, Dearborn Public Schools Supt. Brian Whiston and members of his cabinet (is that the Blues Brothers up there?) along with Joe Shannon of Fordson High School, Dan Blessing and Barbara McAuliff of Edsel Ford High School, Oussama Baydoun and Martha Burch of Dearborn High School, and Librarian Serge Danielson-Francois of Divine Child. Renault Arseneau, neighborhood services coordinator with the City of Dearborn, is expected to reveal his theatrical talents along with Dearborn residents Jacqui Rivait, Sharon Dulmage (we heard a Dolly Parton song from the former school board member and council candidate) and Dearborn Lawyer Morris Goodman.
“Captain” Dennis Neubacher, a Dearborn native and pilot of the WXYZ-TV’s News Chopper 7, has volunteered to emcee the fundraiser.
“We have an outstanding line-up of performers who are giving it their all to be hilariously entertaining,” said Amy Bazzy, event chair and “lip sync” performer. “Only the audience reaction will affirm whether any of us should plan to give up our day jobs and become professional entertainers.”
Tickets to attend the anticipated sell-out event are $10 each for adults and $7 for seniors and students. Tickets will be available for purchase at the Dearborn Chamber of Commerce, Massage Green, Fishers Flowers, Spectrum Signs and the law offices of Dagher Goodman Dagher in Dearborn.

Perhaps Dr. Whitson can lip sync “Buddy can you spare a dime”. Better he was working on other pressing issues.

Most entertaining will be now-single county exec Ficano and looooong-time galpal and county property appraiser Jumana Judeh performing “Me and My Shadow.”

Ficano and Judeh finally can be seen in public together (she obviously lost out on the deal). I wouldn’t waste my time and money on the Big O, and the rest of those losers.

What a great show. Short, funny, and a wonderful venue. Everyone seem to have a fun time. Thank you Rotary, nice job.

Terrible — just terrible. I wish they could try and balance budgets, because they sure sucked, trying to sing.

I wonder if they are going to be posting video of this vent? Sounds like Dearborns “movers n shakers” were there….
