"Monrovia's Got Talent" seeking performers

DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL TALENT?

On the evening of Saturday, September 25th, The Rotary Club of Monrovia will be hosting “Monrovia’s Got Talent”. They are searching for performers to compete for the title of the most talented act in town and a $500 grand prize. They are looking for musicians, dancers, comedians, and entertainers of all kind. The material should be suitable for all audiences.

Last year’s show was a huge success, with some 300 people attending. Fifteen acts made it through a rigorous screening process. They donated their time and talent to help raise money for the Monrovia Rotary Charitable foundation. The foundation in turn supports many area charities. A few examples of how the proceeds were spent this year include:

A $10,000 donation to furnish the children’s section of the new library

$10,000 in college scholarships to Monrovia high school graduates

Assistance that helped fund Pro-Active Tutoring, a venture that has provided over 1,800 hours of one on one tutoring to Monrovia students

Sponsored concerts in the park

Auditions will be held Saturday, September 18th from 1:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. at the Santa Anita YMCA.
