WEST to Host Comedy Night

The Wrentham Elementary Schools Trust (WEST) will be hosting its fourth Annual Comedy Night on Saturday, March 10 at Restaurant 3 in Franklin.

The Comedy Night is WEST’s largest fundraising event, raising over $10,000 for the organization last March.

WEST provides grants to Wrentham Elementary teachers, funding important curriculum enrichment programs that fall outside current school budgets. The event will run from 7pm through 11pm and will feature food, comedy and an auction.

This year’s feature act is Boston comedian Dave Russo, host of “The Wicked Comedy Tour.” Dave has appeared on Comedy Central, The Today Show and E! Entertainment Network. He also has a live show every Friday from 1pm to 2pm on WCAP 980 am.

The evening will include both live and silent auctions. Some of last year’s most popular auction items included a hockey stick signed by the entire 2011 Boston Bruins team, a pair of club seats for a Bruins vs. Blackhawks game and a pair of tickets for the Red Sox Yankees opening weekend game.

“Last year’s event was a great success and we look forward to another good year,” said WEST President Audra Kennedy. “This event is critical in allowing WEST to fund important and innovative projects for the Wrentham Elementary Schools — projects that help us bring continued excellence to our schools. The WEST Comedy Night allows you to have a fun night out while contributing to a wonderful cause”.

The cost of $75 per person includes appetizers, a buffet dinner, dessert, cash bar and the comedy show. A table of 8 is available at a discounted rate of $560 until February 27, and $600 starting February 28.

Tickets can be purchased online at www.WrenthamWEST.org or via mail, with checks made out to WEST and mailed to WEST, P.O. Box 852, Wrentham, MA 02093.
