The Lions Healthfirst Foundation will be staging a very special, and unusual type of benefit, on Thursday, October 20, when a group of comedians come together to hold the First “Laugh-a-thon,” in the Starlite Room at the Riviera Hotel & Casino.
International star, and a resident of Las Vegas, Rich Little, who donates his time and dollars to a lot of charities, has agreed to make a special appearance for this first-of-a-kind fund raiser. “I think it’ll be a lot of fun, making people laugh their way to greater health,” Little commented.
Host for the evening, which will include a silent auction, will be another nationally known comedian, and also a local, the wonderful Cork Proctor. Brian Hoffman will also be performing his impersonation of Red Skelton. Plus other local comedians will be joining in the fun. Everything is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. and run to 8:00 p.m.
The theme for the event is, “Come and laugh your way to better health.”
There will be short presentations by Dr. Alvin Lin and Dr. Annabel Barber, discussing the subject of laughter is the best medicine. Their topic is titled, “Joy of Stress,” and how you can laugh at problems, and not allow stress to ruin your life.
You will learn how a daily dose of laughter will help improve your health, add years to your life, and help you avoid “hardening of the attitude,” a silent killer that takes the fun out of life. You will take home simple exercises in “Laughing Yoga” a tool that you can use immediately to change your life for the better.
