Hi, Arline!
Welcome to the CT message board! Since you've only been lurking for about a week, you missed my posts about the dance on Mar. 4th, so I cut and pasted the latest one here.
The 2nd annual WLS Spring Gala 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.

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.
At this point it's too late for you to mail a check and have tickets mailed back to you, but if you want to come, e-mail me and we'll have ticket(s) waiting for you at the door. I'll also e-mail you directions. I haven't checked your profile, so I don't know if you're married or have a significant other, but people are coming both as couples and stag, so you're welcome either way. The members of the CT message board have social functions every few months in different locations that attract people from all over the state. It's nice to meet people in person with whom you usually just communicate via this website or e-mail. And when we do meet, we instantly bond due to the experiences we have in common...it's as though we've known each other for years. Please consider joining us Sat. night.
