Join us when the dynamic duo of cabaret singer Francine Evans and her jazz musician husband, Joel Zelnick, give a concert tribute to the legendary Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland. Francine, accompanied by Joel, will take on the persona of Frank Sinatra, bringing back his sound, his era and the winning atmosphere of his music. And then Francine will bring out the essence of Judy Garland as she sings Over the Rainbow, The Man That Got Away, Get Happy and The Trolley Song. 
Bobby Rupani, MD, Vascular Surgeon at the Hackettstown Regional Medical Center, will present this program. Your arteries carry blood rich in oxygen and nutrients from your heart to the rest of your body. When the arteries in your legs become blocked, your legs do not receive enough blood or oxygen, and you may have a condition called peripheral artery disease (PAD), sometimes called leg artery disease. About 10 million people in the United States have peripheral vascular disease, which translates to about 5% of people older than 50 years. The number of people with the condition is expected to grow as the population ages. 
Journey through the most famous area of Belgium -- its northern section know as Flanders -- with Audrey Boise, tour escort and agent. Heading away from Brussels, brief visits will be made in the small towns of Mechelen and Lier before arriving in Antwerp, the kingdom's largest port, second-largest city and the home of Peter Paul Rubens. From there we will travel to Ghent, an old city that today serves as the hub of an important industrial area but retains some of its historic sites from the Middle Ages. A brief detour will be made to the coast before reaching the climax and highlight of the trip: fantastic Bruges, where the almost unreal atmosphere of medieval times surrounds one!
