Give Hope, Give Opportunity to Succeed.

It is with grief that I must tell you my long-time friend and up-coming performer Lynn Manning has passed away. Lynn had been fighting a private battle with liver cancer, his battle took a serious turn over the past weekend and he transitioned this past Monday in Los Angeles California. As you may know, Lynn was set to perform Weights for a Lions Center fundraiser this month at the New Parkway Theater. In lieu of this live performance we will have a tribute DVD showing at the Center in our audio visual room Thursday, August 27th at 6:30pm. For those of you who pre-purchased tickets on-line, we would be glad to refund your money, we will still be requesting ticket purchase for the DVD event for seating capacity and donations will continue to be made to the Center in Lynn Manning's honor. Please contact me directly. We will have Lynn Manning's Managing Director at the Center for this special evening viewing.
