April 27th volunteers, donations, helpers…Thank You!

  Many of the members and non-members helped out in the Victorian Room before, during and after the dance.  It made the night go smoothly and added to the fun. 

 There were baseball door prizes and baseball candy. Hats were on each table to encourage dancers to get with the theme.  Thanks Lynne for the donation of all the “baseball” caps.

We also had some  younger non-members who attended.  The Carousel Museum brought out new dancers and non-dancers.

 The age range was fantastic at this dance and everyone was smiling.

Thanks to our DJ Dennis and our Instructor Tammy the dancers were out on the beautiful wood floor all the time and had lots of room to dance.
