Spell Success "JIMMY TINGLE"

Winchester's first major "Red, White and Blue" fundraiser was - one might say -a howling success! Headed by Marilyn Mullane, the Jimmy Tingle committee went to work, starting last June, to create a delightful and successful evening.

Topical, political and very funny, Jimmy Tingle had the audience of close to two hundred guests laughing for an hour and a half. Starting at 7:30 p.m. with the Just Jazz Trio, access to wine, beer and soft drinks and lovely chocolates and pastries at the cabaret tables, Jimmy Tingle came on at 8:45 p.m. and regaled the crowd with comments and skits aimed at both political and economic situations and their fallout!
