Last Thursday night, we celebrated our founding President, Anita Diamant. I want to send out a shout out to all of our Co-chairs, Host Committee, Staff and volunteers who helped to plan and execute a fabulous event. For those of you who weren’t able to be there to see the show and enjoy the music of Michelle Citrin, click here for photos and enjoy reading the lyrics to Michelle’s original song written just for us:
18 Things to do in the Red Tent
Our show’s almost over, n’ thanks to-the tweets that you’ve sent
We’ve-got-a list of eigh-teen things to do…
In the red tent
1. talk about yo’ mamas
while you dance in red pajamas
2. put on lo-tus perfume
and stay-out past-your curfew
3. you can learn to cook up
some delicious brand new dishes
4. you-can-put red lipstick on
‘n get-ready for some kisses. (smooch)
5. you can bring…… some-thing blue
and mix it with red
and then make the
whole tent purple
never mind that book that you read.
6. meditate
7. celebrate
8. menstruate
9. consummate
Our show’s almost over, n’ thanks to-the tweets that you’ve sent
We’ve-got-a list of eigh-teen things to do…
In the red tent
10. practice your pilate moves with bilpaH
and with zilPAH
11. grab some manischevitz , and then have yourself a sipPAH
12. kibbitz-on-ways-to-soothe your achin’ ovaries
13. and-then.. 9 months later…
you can give-birth to a bay-beee.
14. send a tweet
15. massage your feet
16. start a fad…
17. make a maxi pad
there’s just one more thing to do while in the red tent…
18. Find Anita…
and give her a hug.
