32 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | JULY 2024 | The ICC Dinner/Dance will be held in the Main Clubhouse Ballroom, Thurs., July 11 at 5:30 pm. Our group has been enjoying dinner and dancing for over 25 years. Many of us who have been living in Sun Lakes for over 15 to 20 years remember the good old formal days when we dressed "to the nines" and even wore fur coats to the event. We absolutely loved those days and the feeling of high society. It was such fun to ohhh and ahhh about how beautiful we all looked. As the years have gone by, the younger generation is much more casual in dress, and so we find ourselves less formal, more dressy casual and now we love that too. Our group is about connecting with old friends and making new ones, while enjoying great food and music. Rene Riviera has begun free dance instructions monthly before the dinner dance for those interested in becoming more graceful with their dance movements or learning some new steps. The doors open at 4:45 pm in the Main Clubhouse Ballroom, just prior to the dinner for the dance lessons. Dinner and dance starts at 5:30 pm, and the night of conversation, dinner, and dancing ends at 9 pm. All are welcome and join the fun. There is a choice for the main dish, the salads are pre-plated, and the desserts always delicious. An exciting addition to our evening of fun was the 50/50 drawing. Tickets were sold for the drawing. The first two winners were Lillie Sims and Cheryl Finley. Sign-ups for the dinner and dance are held on the first Thursday of every month at the South Clubhouse beginning at 4 pm. Meal selection will be made when you sign-up. The three-course dinner price for members is $30 and $32 for guests. The entertainment for July is Generations. They play dinner music during our meal, romantic slow songs, fast songs, and line dancing. Come join the fun and meet new friends. Membership for 2024 is $25 per person per calendar year. A "try before you buy" opportunity is available for Sun Lakes residents who have not been members in the past. Give yourself a gift, come join us for a night of fun, good food and relaxation.
