Madeline BrockDenise FynmoreSome of our friends will be coming back from a summer away. Also, we encourage parents and grandparents to bring their children and grandchildren -- the youngsters will have more fun if there are more dancers their age. This children's night is an event we want to promote several times a year (see flier). Madeline Brock will be our DJ for this lively evening. Madeline will be assisted by Denise Fynmore.
