Another good idea.

I have no idea how many people are attending. I'm thinking at least over 75 since there is a band and dancing as well.

And dinner with a cocktail hour.

Other than the person who introduced them to me, we will know no one. He works for a large corporation locally and is high up on the ladder there.

Any plays that may interest you? Need some ideas....

Personally, I love going to plays but it's been a long time. I can get my husband to concerts but not so much for plays. I think I got him to go to Dream Girls way back and then in NYC, we saw some plays but they were planned by corporate management.

This was such a nice event.

People flew down from NJ, PA and DE to come. Learned so much about this couple.
Just a fun event with cocktail hour, dinner and dancing. Food was outstanding and the music was something for everyone from the 1950's to the 1980's (a lot from the 1970's).

We go them tickets for the musical Chicago which comes to our area this November 2023.

This couple thanked everyone and stories were told of their early lives with each other. Such a positive experience for everyone there. You could just feel the love and kindness and we felt honored to be included.

Just nice to have some fun
