WLS Dance - Mar. 4th

Hi, All! Since my last post about the dance no longer appears on the front page of our message board, it's time to post again. Our Spring Gala is just 3 wks. from tomorrow. It's the 2nd annual WLS Spring Gala and will be held on Sat., Mar. 4th, from 7 p.m. till midnight. This is a fundraiser for A.S.B.S., just like the Walk from Obesity which is held annually in Sept. Once again this year the dance will be at Il Monticello (on the Meriden-Wallingford line). For $20 per person, we get a DJ and bountiful hors d'oeuvres. There'll be enough variety (including high-protein selections) and quantity to be dinner, even for non-ops. There'll be a cash bar and, like last year, there'll be non-carbonated, non-caffeinated, non-alcoholic, low-calorie choices (besides water) for those who want them. The dance is open to everyone, even if they have no idea what WLS is. (Since it's a fundraiser, we'll take money from anyone.) Last year we had a pretty good turnout from this board; hopefully even more will come this year. Please tell your friends, too. Some people are coming with significant others, but there are plenty who'll be coming alone, so don't hesitate to come either way. Tickets will be available at some of the support group meetings in the area (and at Dr. Aranow's office) and Carla Minutillo and I also have tickets for sale. If you're interested, let Carla or me know and we'll figure out whether you should mail a check or if you might be seeing one of us at a meeting. Debby P.S. The tables seat 8 people and last year we reserved several tables together for this board. Not that we were sitting all the time, but it made it easier to meet, mingle and catch up with each other. I'll be reserving some tables again this year, so if you want to sit with us (or want a table for you and the group of friends you're bringing along), let me know.

Hi Debby, I just sent you my check for the dance. Since this will be my first time attending, I was wondering what the appropriate attire was for this shin-dig. I don't want to be over or under-dressed, lol. Thanks, Patrique Hurd

Hi, Patrique! If you go back a page on the CT message board, there's a post from Terri C. on 2/7, "Gala Attire", in which there was a discussion of what to wear. That might clarify it for you...or it could confuse you...but I hope it helps. Debby
