The dictionary defines harmony as “a combination of musical sounds considered to be pleasing”. The music world could define harmony as “The Lettermen”.
Donovan Tea, Bobby Poynton and Rob Gulack, each of whom are entertainers in their own right, have kept the meaning of harmony alive with their soft, romantic, harmonic blend of music which is as popular with their fans today as it was in 1961 when The Lettermen recorded their first hit, “The Way You Look Tonight”. ​ Other notable hits include “When I Fall In Love”, “Come Back Silly Girl”, “Theme From A Summer Place”, “Goin’ Out Of My Head/Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You”, “Put Your Head On My Shoulder”, “Hurt So Bad”, “Shangri-La”, and more!

The Rat Pack Christmas Party Benefit at VRBC
2023-12-13 16:00 - 23:59 | Vermilion River Beer Company, 103 N. Vermilion St., Danville, IL, 61832, United States
For those unfamiliar, one of our owners has been doing this for 25 years and is bringing it home to us here at VRBC. Handed down to him from the Chairman of the Board himself, the intent of the Rat Pack Christmas party is to gather together while gathering some gifts for a couple of great causes.

First, the Women’s Shelter at the Crosspoint at the Y. The shelter itself can use items such as toiletries, bedding, etc., but we always want the women and children of the shelter to enjoy some gifts from the heart.

Secondly, Food for the Children run by our friend Rose Gates. Child hunger is a reality here in our back yard and Rose has answered the call. Beginning as one individual sending a handful of students home with a backpack of food home for the weekend, the cause has grown exponentially to provide services as a team throughout Vermilion County.

A list of needs will be provided this week and posted here on the event page.

We can do so much good while simply enjoying each other’s company set to some fantastic music by our friend, Chip McNeill and his jazz combo. Spending time with friends is always a good thing. Doing good work at the same time….well, that’s just a bonus.

No matter what your belief, everyone deserves a Christmas.

So bring a gift for someone who might otherwise not get one.

Thank you in advance,
-VRBC
“It’s good cheer.”
