The Orange Lions Club is hosting a casual dinner dance on Sunday, May 19 from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the West River Hall, located at 37 Orlando St. in West Haven. The event is titled “Groovy Tunes and Pasta,” with all proceeds going to Lions’ charities.
Doors open at 4 p.m. for a social hour. A dinner buffet including baked ziti, meatballs, salad, rolls, dessert and soft drinks will be served beginning at 5 p.m. Guests may choose to come dressed in attire from the eras of rock ‘n roll, hippie or disco and may bring their own alcoholic beverages if desired. Around 6 p.m. DJ Jazzy Kat will start playing “groovy tunes” dating anywhere from the 1960s to the present, depending on what people want to dance to, and she’ll bring other activities like party dances and trivia. There will also be raffle prizes and gifts. The evening’s event wraps up at 9 p.m.
Tickets are $40 per person, which must be purchased in advance. They are available from any Orange Lions Club member or by calling Marianne or Ken at 203-795-3906.
Proceeds will benefit Lions charities for blindness aid, prevention and eye research. The Orange Lions Club also awards community mini-grants supporting more than a dozen local groups, including services to youths, the Case Memorial Library, the volunteer fire department, police programs and senior services.
