The JPL Staff Association held its first Talent Showcase in the Main Library auditorium, August 6, 2016, MC'd by Deputy Director Jennifer Giltrop and Main's Stephanie Harley (left). Talented contestants did not disappoint the crowd of about 100. Performers included Sheenah Thrasher-Zamora (above), a new comer to CR&M, who danced to a song by Hillsong, "Oceans." She won lst place and $100! Admin's Andrew Herron played selections from a work he composed, entitled "Variations on a Moody Theme, Rhapsody in F Major-Minor." He won 2nd place and $50. Rosalin Smalls (2nd below) sang "Natural Woman" and won 3rd place and $25.
NW's Gabriel Bugarin (1st below) recited a poem he wrote, "Moon Womb." We don't have pictures of the other talented performers:
NS' Milicia Thomas danced to the song, "Somebody", with her daughter, Amiyah (age 3), and nieces Yasmin (age 9), and Chole' (age 5), making it a family affair. KR's JoAnna Reeves sang and played the piano to the tune "Wish You Were Somehow Here Again." WBK's Kimberly Cherry's two daughters made her proud. Jadia (age 11) and Aniyah (age 8) danced to the song, "Worth".
The 3 M's (though not billed as such) pictured below made their humorous mark on the evening. Below are Mark Merritt in the striking red wig (middle) instead of his usual tam, Mark Hohnadel (left in the construction helmet), and Michael Sullivan (right) sang "Manic Monday".
This event would not have been possible without all the talent shared, the many volunteers, and of course, those who took their time to attend and show their support. THANKS, EVERYBODY!
