Fourth Annual Benefit for VNA Care Network & Hospice This May

Danvers, MA - Live music by pianist Nathan Johnson and Just In Time and dance demonstrations in salsa, rhumba and more are just part of the lineup for the fourth annual North Shore Spring Fling benefit for VNA Care Network & Hospice at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 7, in a private Danvers home.

“The community’s support enables us to care for people of all ages, helping them remain at home during times of illness or injury,” said Jane Woodbury, RN, vice president of fund development for VNA Care Network & Hospice. “Our experienced clinical staff get people back on their feet after knee replacement surgery, enable premature infants to safely transition from hospital to home, and seniors lean to manage multiple chronic health conditions such as diabetes and cardiac disease.”

Guests will get to step inside the home of John Archer at 10 North St. in Danvers. The residence incorporates architectural finds from mansions and other buildings throughout the approximately 13,000 square feet and has been featured in The New York Times and Chronicle.

Just In Time will bring memorable melodies from the American Songbook to life. Pianist Nathan Johnson will also perform. Johnson has been a guest soloist with the Utah Symphony, Utah Philharmonia, New America Symphony, American West Symphony and Murray Symphony.

Salsa, rhumba and foxtrot will be among the dance demonstrations during the event. Guests may take a spin on the dance floor and receive informal instruction from the evening’s performers.

Live and silent auctions, heavy hors d’oeuvres and desserts round out the evening. Tickets are $50 per person and may be purchased athttp://www.vnacarenetwork.org or by calling VNA Care Network & Hospice at 888-663-3688, ext. 1361.
