TODAY'S TOP STORY

VIDEO AVAILABLE ON YOU-TUBE OF ANNIVERSARY SHOW
---------------
The 25th ANNIVERSARY OF CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE was celebrated at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440 - http://www.metropolitanroom.com/ ) on Tuesday, July 7th at 7:00 pm - the event also marked the 76th Birthday of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE founder, publisher and editor Stu Hamstra. The actual date of the founding and birthdate was July 6th. The gala was produced by Bernie Furshpan (Managing Partner of the METROPOLITAN ROOM) and event producer Sue Matsuki - who has produced/planned several events at the room this year as part of their monthly 'This is Your Night' series. They also lined up a fantastic cast of performers for the event, including Raissa Katona Bennett (July 7th was also Raissa's Birthday!), Bruce Clough, Cynthia Crane, Sammy Goldstein, Kevin Scott Hall (July 6th was also Kevin's Birthday), Sue Matsuki, Carolyn Montgomery Forant, Warren Schein, Marcus Simeone and last minute additions, Jamie deRoy, Joan Crowe and Mary Lahti. Musical director was Tracy Stark and the entire event was hosted by Bernie Furshpan!
They made a video of the event - and it's available for viewing on YouTube at https://youtu.be/m4RpO9BGtVE
A special thank you to the following friends of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE, for co-sponsoring the YEAR LONG 25TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE. I hope to pick up the celebration in the Fall with additional events - if I can afford to.

CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE RELOCATION INFLRMATION
===============
Another big, big thank you goes out to more folks who sent in memberships, ordered banners or made sponsorship donations in the past few weeks - every penny was important. I need to accumulate enough funds for one month's rent and one month's security on a new room in order to move. Last week we wer about $600 short - and thanks to several membership renewals, generous gifts, the proceeds of the anniversary show, and some banner sales we reached our goal.
Unfortunately, I had to vacate the room on July 15th - and am currently temporarily housed in a hotel in Flushing, Queens - near LaGuardia Airport. Thanks to a special designated gift, I was able to stay here 3 nights - with some extra for taxi and other costs. To stay the weekend I need to raise another $225 - or use some of the funds set aside for a new room in the NYC area in August.
I DO NOT - AT THIS TIME - HAVE A PLACE TO LIVE
So in the meantime, my sister in Miami, Florida has invited me to move to her home (her family has grown up so she has a room available) and I will keep CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE operating for the month of July from there, via the internet - actual moving date to be determined. In any case I would need a very temporary place for a few days more where I can pack up my computer & equipment for air travel rid myself or most of my clothing to cut down on baggage. And a place to store other personal items until I return in August.
As always, I prefer to give some kind of value in return for any funds you might send me. Here's some ways everyone can help - with some deals to help you decide:

Just send me a note at stuhamstra@svhamstra.com and I will send you a PayPal invoice which you can use to pay by credit/debit card. You will have my sincere gratitude and an acknowledgement in the newsletter (you may remain anonymous, if you wish).

ON A PERSONAL NOTE:
===============
Repeated from last issue: Cabaret is my passion. I will keep CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE going as long as I can - physically, financially, and emotionally. With your support, we will succeed. I am looking forward to at least one more year of serving you - and with your help, hopefully many more.
It has been a tough 12 or more months and with the economy continuing in a slump and a possibile new recession on the horizon, it looks like tough times ahead for all.
