Rather than ending the month with the dance, we're starting February off
dancing. This will be a Sadie Hawkins Dance where it's the follows' job to
ask the guys to dance! Thats right, Now the gentlemen get to sit down and
wait to be asked onto the dance floor! Follows, this'll be your one chance
this year to make sure you get the dances YOU want so plan on coming out.

And we've got a great band to make it happen! Tuxedo Junction is coming over
they've invited their friends from town! Chip Gulbro of Hotclub of Huntsville
fame will be joining the cast. And who better to round it out then RCJO's
singer, the lovely Leilani! And of course, Rick Jobe will be anchoring the
whole thing with that New Orleans jazz clarinet. They've played some great
dances for us before and this one will be no exception so start your month
off with a dance for a change!
