GREENTREE HOLIDAY INN

Otis Williams and The Charms
As promised, Otis and his Charms will be gracing our stage for our next PORCC show. It was an interesting process to try to reach Otis, my having wrong phone numbers, addresses, Emails, etc. but thanks to our friend Mike from CODA he guided me right to Otis. Otis couldn’t have been nicer about the “short” notice and making a commitment to the PORCC Club to perform. So with that, please lets bring ourselves, our family, our friends to listen to Otis Williams and the Charms! See you there.
Review: Earl “Speedo” Carroll & The Cadillac’s - PORCC Anniversary Show
What can one possibly say about this group? Long time favorites of the PORCC Club and not on our stage for a long time. Speedo and his gang came in and sang to all our enjoyment. Their interaction with our audience, great senses of humor – Those Dance Routines are an audience pleaser. One thing though – Gloria did not sound quite the same, I apologize for that. All in All – Everyone seemed to enjoy the show and I’m happy about that.
.... Moving on into our 17th year** – WOW!!!
(**Anniversary date corrected as per our Previous original officers!!)
