Tonight Wednesday Eagles Club West Coast Swing Dance Party

Fellow Leprechauns & Leprech-ettes,

 

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!!

 

As you are no doubt aware, today is Saint Patty's Day, and we are having a gigantic-amazing-spectacular-blowout Swing Party this week!

 

I received no song requests, so you are all completely at the mercy of my person song selections. So expect lot's of Britney Spears, Vanilla Ice, and MC Hammer songs! Mwahahahahaha!!!

 

Just kidding. *shudder*

 

Don't forget that we are passing on the finger foods this time around so that we can avail ourselves to the traditional Corned Beef, Cabbage, Potatoes, and Carrots etc. that the club is fixing up for us. It is $7 a plate, and they start serving at 6:00 p.m. It is a fundraiser for the Club, so come early and come hungry!

 

Don't forget that we are handing out tickets for some fun door prizes as well as an extra spiffy Grand Prize, but only to those wearing green! And again, buttons or beads don't count; I want to see a major article of green clothing or no prize for you!!

 

*glares menacingly, but the effect is ruined by Josh's uncanny resemblance to a Leprechaun*

 

Speaking of green clothing and prizes, the person with the most wacky/cool/embarrassingly-devoid-of-fashion-sense Saint Patty's themed outfit gets a special prize!

 

Same admission as ever; $3 for members and $5 for non-members.  As a bonus, the color of your money is on-theme with the Holiday. Which just goes to show that Leprechauns have infiltrated the US Government and are conspiring to make everything green! Also, I have it on good authority that Soylent Green is people. Just sayin'...

 

The fun starts at 7:00 p.m. so don't miss it!

 

Well, my Excel just informed me I can't use any more exclamations marks without paying additional licensing fees, so I will bid a "Top o' the Day to ye"  and see you tonight!

 

(Dang, that last exclamation mark is going to cost me! *facepalm*  And I did it again…)
