 | | March 29th: Mad Hatter's Ball!
 
  Celebrate April Fool’s Day just a tad early. Channel the energy of madness and whimsy by wearing a striking hat of your choice. Decorate a top hat or bonnet. Wear character hats. Any hat will do as long as it is danceable. Madeline will DJ this evening of topsy-turvy frivolity. |
