Broadway singer Samantha Lavender will also make a special guest appearance.

Howard Stone, Chair of Trustees of the Memo said, “We wanted the first event in the new ballroom to uphold the sentimental values and the history of the Memo. It was once a hub for film and music and we hope it will be once again.”
