      5:00-8:00 pm, we'll have snacks during the dance, and there's plenty of great restaurants to choose from for dinner before.

    • We are looking for a nice location for a social dance about once a month. Preferably it would have the feel of a social, public place (like a coffee shop, club, bar, or restaurant) as apposed to a private party atmosphere. If you know of such a place, please contact Rich.
