TO KEYNOTE LIGHTNER YOUTH LEADERSHIP BANQUET


RALEIGH -- Area civic, business and educational leaders on November 15, 2007 will celebrate the 34th anniversary of the election of Clarence E. Lightner. In the 217 years that Raleigh has been in existence Clarence Lightner is the only African American in history to have served as the Capital City's Mayor. The Lightner banquet is expected to attract 500 Triangle citizens to the North Raleigh Hilton Hotel. The banquet will serve as a benefit fundraiser to continue programs of the youth leadership academy that was established in honor of the late mayor. The youth training initiative started in June 2003. The mission statement of the program is “to encourage and promote the responsibility for civic duty awareness and participation by youth residing in Wake County through the teaching and implementation of leadership development strategies, philanthropic and community service projects”.

Comedy by Neal Simon - This is the story of two elderly vaudevillians, Willy Clark and Al Lewis, formerly partners known as “Lewis and Clark”, who, having worked as a double act for some 40-odd years, grew to hate each other, and for their last year together never spoke to each other off-stage. In the eleven years since Lewis retired, they have neither spoken to nor seen each other. Clark, who was not ready for retirement, resented Lewis for breaking up the act. Now CBS is inviting the team to reunite for a special on the “History of Comedy”. They will represent the vaudeville era at its best.
