ITALIAN AMERICAN
CULTURAL SOCIETY AND
VILLA BELLA SAVE THE  SENIOR SWING SOCIETY OF MACOMB COUNTY DANCES

 

On Wednesday, June 18th, Mr. James Perna announced that the Senior Swing Dances - held at the Ralph Liberato Hall at Freedom Hill for the last 22 years - were being cancelled because of the revised conditions that were imposed by the County Commissioners.  However, Mr. Perna was pleased to announce that  the dances will move to the Italian American Cultural Society on Romeo Plank Rd in Clinton Twp, starting Wednesday, July 16th and every third and last Wednesday of the month for the fore seeable  future.  Sharing that announcement was Mr. Bill Morelli, Executive Director for the Italian American Cultural Society.

     The I.A.C.S. will kick off the first dance with a complimentary Pasta Buffet Dinner for the members of the Senior Swing Society for one hour prior to the start of the dancing.  The Tom Jones Band, with its big band sound, will continue to provide the Swing Era Sounds for this event.

     Mrs. Angie Morelli, Marketing Director for Villa Bella, Macomb County’s Premier Retirement Community,  announced that they will be sponsoring the July 16th dance and several more throughout the year to help continue this Senior event.

     Mr. Morelli also said “our seniors are the greatest asset we have and we need to keep them dancing. With that in mind, the I.A.C.S. cleared its calendar for the balance of 2008 to make sure you have a place to go dancing. “
