A few days ago I posted a blog about how Webster Comfort Care Home (WCCH) is hosting their 4th annual Duck Derby on Saturday May 18. What I didn’t do is mention the other great events this outstanding agency has going on.
For starters, right now through May 9, they’re holding a Mother’s Day Louis Vuitton Purse Raffle fundraiser. Tickets are one for $25, three for $60 and 5 for $100. The second place prize is a beautiful hand-made afghan.
The drawing will be held live on Facebook on May 9 at 4 p.m. You can purchase your tickets online here or pick them up at the Webster Comfort Care Home, 700 Holt Rd. (corner of Klem).

Next, on Friday May 3 from 5 to 7 p.m., the Webster Masonic Lodge will host a spaghetti dinner to benefit WCCH. Tickets are $12.00 for adults and $6.00 for child’s portion. Stay and eat in or take it to go. To go orders can be placed at the cashiers table. Call (585) 872-3500 for any questions. A chairlift is available if steps are an issue.
The lodge is located at 30 Orchard St.

The Webster Public Library will partner with WCCH on Thursday May 9 for a fascinating program titled Tending to Life – Comparative Religions: Funeral Customs and Rituals.
In this informative program, you’ll hear from area faith leaders as they talk about death in relation to funeral customs and rituals. Featured speakers include: Rabbi (Dr.) Shalom Schlagman, both a rabbi and palliative care medical doctor; Abu Saeed Islam from the Muslim community and the Rev. Ken Williams representing the Christian community.
The program will be held at the Webster Public Library, 980 Ridge Rd., on Thursday, May 9, form 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. There is no cost, but registration is required.

Finally, on Wednesday June 5, Comedy @ the Carlson will host a “Fun Night Out” to benefit Webster Comfort Care Home.
The laughs will be supplied by comedians Todd Youngman and Liz Reeves.
Todd Youngman is based in New York and has performed in clubs and theaters all over the country, but calls Comedy @ the Carlson his home. He has opened for comedians such as Kevin Meaney, Joe Dombrowski, Fortune Feimster, Kevin Pollak, Gary Gulman and Pat McGann.
Liz Reaves hails from Buffalo, and can often be found doing her stand-up routine at comedy clubs, coffee shops and her classroom. She likes to tell jokes about her dysfunctional family and oddball encounters with her students.
Tickets are $25 (plus a convenience fee) and are on sale now. Click here to reserve yours and to find out more about the show.
