Call for Volunteers
We are always looking for volunteers to host our  dances. For special theme dances, such as the Luau in June, the Patriotic dance in July, and especially the Holiday Ball in December, we need additional volunteers to help decorating the hall. If you are free on those Saturday mornings, please come and help and let us know. Remember, without your help, The Ballroom Club could not function.

We need hosts right now for most 2008 dances. Please call Linda Burrel at 334-270-5762 lt@bellsouth.net and offer your help.
