Sat., Apr. 21 – Support affordable housing and community involvement and enjoy a lively event in Somerville! The Somerville Homeless Coalition’s (SHC) “Under the Roof” annual benefit dinner will be held once again at Arts at the Armory, recognizing over 27 years of support of the non-profit organization.

Joseph Flatley, President and CEO of the Massachusetts Housing Investment Corporation (MHIC), has been chosen as this year’s honoree. Somerville Homeless Coalition and MHIC have enjoyed a long standing partnership regarding affordable housing.

Festivities will begin at 6:30 p.m., with an open bar and a chance to browse auction items, followed shortly by dinner by popular Somerville barbecue restaurant Redbones, dancing, and an awards ceremony for Flatley and other SHC partners. All monies raised will help underwrite SHC’s high-demand programs, including homeless prevention, permanent housing, emergency shelters for families and individuals, and food assistance under Project SOUP; New England’s first free supper program.

Dress code for the event is business casual. Tickets are $75 each or $550 for a table of eight.

The  Boston Babydolls, Boston’s Best Burlesque Troupe as awarded by the readers of Phoenix Magazine (twice!) and The Dig, are coming to Davis Square for our next performance: “Unlucky in Love”!  The show will  run January 27th to February 14th, 2012.

The show is a Valentine’s Day fantasy that explores age-old myths and legends of romance – and the complications that accompany it! We are looking for special Davis Square vendors to support the arts (and themselves too!) and purchasing shares of the program.

A full-page ad ($100) comes with two tickets, a half-page ad ($75) comes with one ticket, and a 1/4 page ad ($50) comes with one ticket.  Over 1,000 programs are being printed. If interested, please contact Brigitte Bisoux, brigitte.bisoux@gmail.com.
