Presenting Sponsor
Delaware Rock and Roll Society wishes to thank an entire community of Volunteers! Fred Dawson and Club Phred perform as our House Band always. Lois Lipton Parker walks us through the show process for each event. Gary Phillips, Gabe Phillips, and their media crew film and photograph our events. Sharon Urell and Maureen Tucker have made our Silent Auctions and sold our T-shirts since our beginning. Easily another fifty volunteers take tickets, cover the doors, hand out programs, etc. Nothing would happen without everyone’s help. None of them are paid! They are keepin’ the faith! Thanks to all our Volunteers.
