This coming weekend will provide an opportunity to dine and drink well and be, in the vernacular of Romper Room, a good do-bee. The two charity benefits are the Kidney Foundation and the New Zealand Earthquake Relief – both worthy, both different. So if you don’t have plans for the weekend take the cash you would spend on your weekend and enjoy food, drink and music at either or both of these events – be the good do-bee that would make Ms. Nancy proud.
