week\u2019s happy hour. After the kazoo catastrophe, let\u2019s just say that the piano player
and his Spalding\u2019s (affectionately known as \u201cspaldines" in Detroit) was an audience appropriate
choice made by our events guru, Norman Spizz (SPN Music and Entertainment.)</div><div class=""><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">The video sparked a raucous celebration of activities we
enjoyed back in the day: box hockey, stick ball, off the steps, 4 square, hopscotch,
red rover, double-dutch, Simon says, the
list goes on \u2013 our common experience was evident despite the differences in age
and place of origin. A discussion of swim class needn\u2019t be revisited although
questions linger as do images of dubious value.<o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">And so another Happy Hour was well spent \u2013 the laugh track was
different and yet plenty of laughter ensued. We toasted the Bandit Group, our
sponsor for this edition of the Gotham Happy Hour, and celebrated the important role
the group plays in our Gotham Community. Brett Deutsch (Deutsch Photography and Gotham Family Photos) wasn\u2019t joking when he chose Davida Perry (Schwartz Perry and Heller)as the Group Coordinator!<o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">And so, if you are thinking you missed out, you\u2019re correct!
Don\u2019t let it happen again, please. All are welcome so come and see what it\u2019s all
about. <o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">In the meantime, don\u2019t forget the upcoming events \u2026 The
Gotham Business Seminar returns on May 12<sup class="">th</sup> featuring Jayne Latz and
Alan Zweibel, author of <u class="">Laugh Lines</u> joins us on May 27<sup class="">th</sup> to
discuss his book. And there\u2019s much more \u2026 check the calendar for details.<o:p class=""></o:p></p>
