Give Peace a Dance Marathon and Concert!
Saturday, October 3, 1:00-5:00 PM
Grace Congregational Church, Rutland

Join Bridge to Rutland for a fun afternoon of music and dancing! Live music: Dixieland with Alistair Stout, Ben Green and Fred Lemmon, Pop and Rock with Aaron Audet and Fred, and contra-dancing with caller Quena Crane! And in between sets, enjoy the music of the Rutland Area Ukelele Hummin' Strummin' Singalong Band! An entertaining afternoon and a great way to help Bridge to Rutland raise money for a new car loan program for our local asylum seekers. The cost is $10/person, and you can get your family and friends to sponsor your dancing for $15 each! There will also be a raffle of a lovely gift basket filled with Vermont products. Please join us for a fun time for a good cause! See the link below for more information and to sign up.
