Dean Martin lives again at Memorial's 2006 Premier

For more than 50 years, Dean Martin entertained millions of adoring fans. Thanks to his son Ricci, Dino will again wow delighted Western New Yorkers on Jan. 28 when Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center hosts "The Premier: An Annual Celebration" at the Seneca Niagara Casino and Hotel.

While "A Tribute to Dean Martin: His Son Remembers," features Ricci Martin performing such beloved hits as "That's Amore," "Houston," "Volare" and "Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime," this show offers much more than musical nostalgia. It includes memories and mementos such as photos of Dean's family life and Las Vegas performances, even his hit television series, the "Dean Martin Show," home movies, and rare film clips of Dean Martin performing with Jerry Lewis.

The show received nightly standing ovations during an eight-week run at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas, where it was applauded by such stars as Righteous Brother Bill Medley, comic Paul Rodriguez, Frankie Avalon and Lucie Arnaz.

A black tie affair that will cap the opening celebration of Memorial's new ER1 and The Heart Center of Niagara, The Premier will begin with cocktails at 6 p.m. followed by dinner at 7:30 p.m. "A Tribute to Dean Martin: His Son Remembers," will begin at 9:30  p.m. and will be followed by dancing to music by Junction West. Truly, this will be night to remember!

Everybody who attends The Premier will be eligible to win the vacation of a lifetime, thanks to a travel voucher valued at $3,000 donated by Healthcare Intervention Specialists.

Chairing The Premier will be Drs. Lyn and John Dyster and Rosanne and Al Muto. Honorary co-chairs are Deana and Barry Snyder, president of the Seneca Nation of Indians.

The event is sponsored by Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel, Paul Lemke and Jean Walker, Healthcare Intervention Specialists, Apollo Health Care, Pine Pharmacy and Wellness Center, Drs. Lyn and John Dyster and Celenza Florist.
