FOOD TABLE
The food table is available for you to bring your favorite snacks to share. It’s nice to have a little snack after a few good dances. There are sodas and water in the ‘fridge for 50 cents per each. We use the honor system of payment. Just place the money in the dish that’s also in the ‘fridge.
VOLUNTEER CLOSING HELP: Help with putting chairs and tables away at the end of the dance is always appreciated and needed. It takes only about 10 minutes. So, if you can and don’t mind helping out we will surely appreciate it. Thank you in advance for this important and gracious consideration.
