SUNY Oswego campus community members are invited to perform in the State Employees Federated Appeal (SEFA) campaign’s inaugural Talent Showcase, 4:30 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 10, at Curtis Manor in Oswego.
Organizers noted that the event, a fundraiser for Peaceful Remedies in Oswego, is not a competition but an opportunity for faculty, staff and students to show their performing talents while supporting a good cause. The event’s structure will resemble Curtis Manor’s popular open mic nights on the first and third Thursday of each month in that performers sign up for a time slot to show their talent.
“A lot of our faculty and staff members are already entertaining in those open mics, so we figured this might be a way to invite their colleagues for a family-friendly evening serving an outstanding cause,” said SEFA committee member Tim Nekritz, who co-chairs the event with Bob Hageny.
If you would like to sign up, email tim.nekritz@oswego.edu and/or robert.hageny@oswego.edu.
Curtis Manor’s venue is a renovated rustic barn on a former dairy farm, located at 10 Mark Fitzgibbons Drive, just off West Fifth Street in Oswego.
Peaceful Remedies is a local organization founded by the late SUNY Oswego employee Mary Gosek, which aims to holistically improve the healing experiences of those with life-altering illnesses.
Suggested admission donation is $5 for adults; performers are admitted free in thanks for sharing their talents.
