The Brookhaven
Animal Rescue League's 6th Annual Celebrity Dinner and Auction was
a huge success raising close to $18,000 for the animals.
The waiter of the year, raising the most TIPS, was Dr. Phil Broom
from Copiah-Lincoln Community College. His table was appropriately
adorned with blue and silver decorations and he was accompanied
by Co-Lin's cheerleaders and Wolf mascot.
Receiving the best dressed waiter award was Linda Covington from
Brookhaven Honda who gave us her rendition of "Mama" from
"Mama's Family." Other waiters were seen dressed as a
pirate, a racecar driver, a bank robber (a banker by profession),
and several cats. Becky and Bruce Currie served their table while
being dressed as the Twilight characters. The entire crew from Mayberry
showed up - Andy, Barney, Aunt Bee and Opie - all coming from the
Brookhaven Animal Hospital vets and staff. The mayor of Brookhaven,
and owner of The Locker Room, was in a full tux with tails. The
evening's MC, Patrick Porter, was a wild man as he was adorned in
a complete caveman costume.
Gerard Faucheux of Telapex, Inc. entertained everyone with his rendition
of "Rescue Pussycat" to the tune of "What's Up Pussy
Cat."
The silent auction and the live auction were both extremely successful
with over 150 items being up for bid.
All money raised will be used to help homeless and abandoned animals
in Lincoln, Franklin and Copiah counties. |
