05/14/2012

Looking for laughter, silliness and an opportunity to escape the stress of daily life? Join us for a special night with girlfriends at Southern Maine Medical Center’s (SMMC) Second Annual Girls Night Out on June 21. Hosted by the SMMC Auxiliary at the Coastal House on 2128 Post Road (Route 1) in Wells, the evening will begin at 5:30 p.m. with hors d’oeuvres and desserts, followed at 7:30 p.m. by entertainment from comedienne Kelly MacFarland.

MacFarland has performed in comedy clubs, theaters and colleges, and made several television appearances. She headlined the 2009 Boston Women in Comedy Festival, was first runner up in the 2009 Boston Comedy Festival and voted Best of the Fest 2010 Aspen Rooftop Comedy Festival. MacFarland is currently writing a clever collection of short stories based on her stand up and her life. She is also an experienced wellness speaker, coaching individuals about self acceptance. Sharing her life experiences in the unique way that only she can, MacFarland leaves audiences pleasantly surprised by her candor. She captivates the crowd with her charm, and her refreshing yet playful point of view makes her irresistible.

Proceeds from the event will be used to purchase two neonatal stabilettes for SMMC's Birthing Suite, for which the Auxiliary has pledged $40,000. These portable devices will ensure the availability of state-of-the-art equipment and technology for one of the busiest areas of the medical center.
