Two Chamber Members Collaborate to Spread Joy this Month

Two Chamber members who love to promote joy and positivity are collaborating on the event “Light and Laughter” to offer an evening of comedy and connection. Chamber members Jeannine Luby and Megan Alpert are working together through their respective businesses, Laugh to Live and Joy World Wealth Partners to present an evening of joyful laughter.

Jeannine Luby is producing the stand-up comedy show on Friday September 20 that will feature comedians Micki Orlowsky, Mary Rapach, Luby and Pittsburgh’s high energy comedian and mental health advocate Gab Bonesso, that will be hosted by Joy World Wealth Partners at 125 N. Washington Ave. in downtown Scranton. Doors open at 6:30PM and the show begins at 7PM.  This event is a nonalcoholic event for adults 18 and over. 

Both women are excited for this opportunity to collaborate on an event that will bring people together to share in the levity of laughter that helps to lower stress, lift moods and open minds.   Given that September is National Suicide Prevention Month $10 from every $25 ticket purchase will be donated to the nonprofit John Malvizzi Foundation, an organization named after an area man who died by suicide a few years ago. 

The Foundation was started by his daughter Nina Judge with the mission to “provide families and communities with the resources needed to increase mental health awareness and improve their quality of life.” Nina says she also wants to encourage transparency when it comes to talking about mental illness so that we can remove the stigma and people who need help will seek it and feel comfortable talking with a friend or family member about their feelings.

Seats are limited, so advanced ticket sales are encouraged at:
