National Communicator To Address Community Bob Lenz is a national youth communicator who reached over 250,00 teens and their parents last year with the relevant topics of self-image, alcohol and drug abuse, suicide, broken family relationships, and misconceptions about sex and dating. He offers a sincere presentation as he intertwines his faith into a message that captivates audiences with humor, restoring hope at the same time. Bob emphasizes the need to own one’s choices, right or wrong, and motivates youth to see the worth and value of their lives and the lives of their friends. Bob easily connects with his audiences by sharing valuable principals mixed with true-life stories and personal experiences that help youth deal with real-life issues. He explores sober issues with his unique gift of humor and his message of faith, hope, worth, courage and respect ignites an interest in young people. Somewhere between laughing at one of his embarrassing moments and getting choked up over one of his true stories, they realize their lives have been changed. Bob’s special guest, AJ the Animated Illusionist, is a full-time, professional entertainer. What would you have if you combined the hilarious expressions of Mr. Bean with the creativity of Buster Keaton, the agility of Dick VanDyke, the spontaneity of Robin Williams, the gentleness of Red Skelton and the wonder of Houdini and rolled them all up in one? AJ the Animated Illusionist. AJ has opened for comedians such as Howie Mandel, Gary Shandling and Ray Romano, and has consistently captured the attention of youth while sharing a vital message that works in cooperation with Bob’s presentations. This exciting event will be presented Friday, March 9, 7:30 p.m. at the Blue Ridge High School. Admission is free. For more information call Carl Batzel at 278-4500 or 853-4805.
