St. Elizabeth's to Hold Father and Daughter Dance08:52AM / Tuesday, February 09, 2010
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — St. Elizabeth of Hungary Parish Center will host its 16th annual Father and Daughter Valentine Dance on Friday, Feb. 12, 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 dances with their fathers, grandfathers, uncles, neighbors or friend's father.
There will be a disc jockey and dancing, and each girl or woman who enters 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.
Cooper, who died in an auto accident in 2004 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 teens to benefit from the camp experience. This year the group will travel to Colorado to attend camp. To find out more about Young Life Camps you can go to www.younglife.org or contact the COTY Youth Center.
Tickets for the dance are $10 per person in advance or $12 at the door. Tickets are available at Val's Variety, Columbia Street, Adams, Where'd You Get That?!, Spring Street, Williamstown, and Persinickety Toys, Eagle Street, 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.
