15th Annual Father/Daughter Dance Set in North Adams09:39AM / Monday, January 19, 2009
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The 15th annual Father and Daughter Valentine Dance will be held on Sunday, Feb. 15, at St. Anthony’s Parish Center from 6 to 9 p.m.
This semi-formal event is for fathers or father figures and their daughters of all ages. People have attended previous events with their fathers, grandfathers, uncles, neighbors or a friend's father. There will be dancing to a disc jockey and each girl or woman who enters the event will receive a flower. There will be door prizes, raffles and various other prizes.
A large selection of baked goods and beverages will be available. In addition, the hall will be decorated with hundreds of balloons. Proceeds will benefit the COTY Youth Center Teen Camp Scholarship Fund in memory of Charles Bruce Cooper.
Charlie, who passed away in 2004 in an auto accident at the age of 18 , participated in many of the activities offered at the youth center including the Young Life Camp program. Funds from the event will allow other local teens to benefit from the camp experience. This year the group will travel to North Carolina to attend camp.
To find out more about Young Life Camps you can go to www.younglife.org or contact the COTY Youth Center in North Adams.
Tickets for the dance are $10 per person in advance or $12 per person at the door. Tickets are available at Val’s Variety, Columbia St., Adams, Where’d You Get That?!, Spring St., Williamstown, and Persnickety Toys, Eagle St., North Adams. The committee is also asking that each person bring a canned good or other non-perishable item to donate to the Northern Berkshire Community Action food pantry.
