Yuk Yuk's comedians Judy Croon and Martha Chaves will be helping the Women's House Serving Bruce and Grey celebrate its 30th anniversary at the annual International Woman’s Day, March 8, at the Lakeshore Recreation Centre in Port Elgin. Doors open at 5:15 p.m.
 

“Having these two wonderful comedians will make for a super fun night," says Tiffany Love of Women's House. "Both bring a lot of laughs to the table!”

Judy Croon (R) is a comedian, MC, motivational humourist, radio broadcaster, author and proud to never having been in jail.

She has been the opening act for Joan Rivers, Wynonna Judd, Robert Klein, Weird Al, Dionne Warwick and Anne Murray. Her specials have appeared on NBC, CBS, CTV and The Comedy Network. She is the creator and host of  "Laughlines" and "Stand Up for The Girls" which have raised more than $650,000 for breast cancer research.

Martha Chaves (L) has been a professional comedian, touring as a headliner for more than 17 years. Her infectious, candid style, and her natural ability to relate to any audience have made her very popular at clubs, colleges, festivals, fund-raisers, and
corporate functions.

She is a veteran of a dozen Montreal’s Just For Laughs Comedy Festivals. She has also performed at the Halifax Comedy Festival, the Winnipeg Comedy Festival, the Edmonton Comedy Festival, the Toronto People’s Festival, and El Festival del Humor in Colombia.

Also at this year's International Women's Day, the popular trivia game, introduced in 2015, will be returning! Brush up on your Women’s House knowledge for a chance to win an Apple iPad Mini donated by Bruce Power. You can also bid on the amazing items in the live and silent auctions!

The Woman of Distinction ceremony is always a staple of this event. Organizers are still accepting nominations - please nominate that outstanding woman in your community!

The International Women's Day is a celebration, and also one of the major fund-raisers for Women’s House. The purchase of a ticket is not only going to provide you with an afternoon filled with great food and entertainment, but also the chance to support a worthy cause in the community. The women's shelter has had some difficulty meeting fund-raising targets this fiscal year and would appreciate your support.

Tickets for this event are $50 each; available at the United Way of Bruce Grey in Owen Sound, Lakeshore Recreation in Port Elgin, Gordon Pharmasave in Kincardine or by calling Love at Women’s House at 519-396-9814, Ext.225.
