The Canton Rotary Club will
bring holiday cheer to The Village
Theater at Cherry Hill this Yule
season. In addition to a special-
invitation-only concert offered to
Headstart and Starfish families on
the morning of Dec. 8, the Rotary
Club will offer two public concerts
at 7 p.m. both Friday, Dec. 7 and
Saturday, Dec. 8 featuring "Mr.
Steve" of SteveSongs, a rising star
on the national kids' music scene.
The show features participatory
songs, clever lyrics and entertain-
ingmelodies.

host of the PBS KIDS morning
block featuring favorites like
Curious George and Clifford. The
Saturday special fundraising con-
cert will be complete with strolling

Choice Gold Awards, Steve
Roslonek has performed nationally
at more than 2,000 venues, includ-
ing the White House, the Kennedy
Center, Symphony Space in New
York City and Fenway Park in
Boston. According to Mr. Steve,
"The experiment from the begin-
ning was making music that both
kids and parents would enjoy, so
that it could really be a full family
experience."
