An evening of dining and dance in the classic American Depression Era style: Dinner, dance, silent auction and stage entertainment by ALD and friends, including vocalist Nancy Woods in the tradition of "the girl singer" of the popular entertainment of the 1930s. Dress period, wear your dancing shoes.
Gramophones of the era provide music for dance - friends in the fine and performing arts provide attractive silent auction art bargains.
Perhaps its a bit crass to throw a party on such a theme, but if you think about it, during the Great Depression, people found a way to pull together and help one another out of sheer strength of heart.
That's what we're hoping you'll feel when you drop in for a tasty hot Polish meal, modest cheerful libation, ballads of the era from the gorgeous voice of Nancy Wood and dancing to tunes of the day played on Stan Stanford's great old gramaphones.
An evening not to be missed - one of a kind this season in Portland.
