March Dance News

Before we tell you about this month’s dance, we would like to start by answering a frequently asked question.

Why we require you to register to attend the Forever Young Dances, by Thursday?

    • So our volunteers can order food from the caterer on Friday.
    • So our volunteers can setup the bingo hall for the appropriately-sized dance floor
The only other option would be rush seating, and we’re all too old and civilized for that!  If we didn’t have pre-registration to order food, we could run out or have too much wasted; either result is unwanted.
The Forever Young Board wants you to enjoy a lovely evening of dance with us.  We also want to keep the cost of memberships and entrance fees very affordable.
Please help us – register by Thursday, with the the first and last names of everyone you know to be attending.
Thank you!
The Forever Young (Volunteer) Board

Now, on to our next adventure! Dress in green and come out on Saturday, March 23 for our St Patrick’s Day theme Dance.
