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. “
