Special Announcement:
This Event will be dedicated to the memory of our recently departed dance friend, Peter DiSalvo.
He was a big supporter of our dance community and sent weekly dance information emails.
He was one of the regulars at the Ford Ballroom dances.
We will never forget the annual Summer Dance Parties that Peter hosted at his house, come rain or shine!
Every year he added to his house, making improvements for his next party.
In his memory, a portion of the admissions will be given to Dancers Tribute to Peter, a collection to help finish the projects that Peter was working on when he died.
(A donation to America's Wounded Heroes and Heart Association will also be made as was promised in previous arrangement.)
Peter, we will never forget your caring spirit and generosity to your friends and family, but we will miss you terribly!
Rest in peace, dear Friend.

Singles and couples are invited to join us in Costick Activity Center -
