Mid Month Reminder for February 28 dance

Fabulous February Dance

Well we had enough cold weather in January which made us think we were living near the Arctic Circle….-35C to -50C for a 6 day stretch. Probably nearly ran out of whale oil to heat the igloo and the walrus meat was getting kind of low too.

The January 31st dance started out as a huge success….122 people registered for the dance and about 22 of them registered because they saw the Forever Young Club interview by President, Val Dunphy on the CTV Morning Show.  Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate – lots of folks cancelled for that reason or some due to illness while others just didn’t show up.  There was lots of food left over.

So let’s try for a great attendance for the “FABULOUS FEBRUARY DANCE” which will be held on Saturday February 28, 2026 from 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm at the ANAVET #283  3584 Portage Avenue. There will be continuous 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s music played by that amazing DJ duo of RICK & TRISH.  You can just sit and listen to the great tunes being played OR you can hit the floor and boogie like there’s no tomorrow. Remember to wear what you’re comfortable in because this isn’t a fashion contest…..Just come on out and have fun dancing till the cows come home even if those cows get home a bit early. 

You’ve done a great job registering your spot for the dance in January so keep it up for the February dance. Please Text or Call Forever Young Club before February 24th at 204-261-4442 or Email: fycwpg@gmail.com. FYC MEMBERS: $10.00 and NON-MEMBERS: $15.00.

Other things you should also know about what’s available at a FYC Dance:50/50 Draw; Door Prizes; Light Lunch; Cash Bar and a fun evening out.NOTE for this dance only: We are sponsoring MANITOBA HARVEST and would greatly appreciate if you can {Bring A Tin For The Bin}.

The Forever Young Club board members would like to thank you for your support…..4 hours of Dancing & Singing here is better for you than 4 hours of watching TV at home.
