Playing for your sole enjoyment of music and dancing will be none other than DJ Renzo **It's DJ Renzo's birthday in March, too!
 
This night began with my birthday in 2001. Then I met Mary Ann, discovered we had back to back birthdays and the party became an even bigger party. Then, when Dwight came into the mix, it became a March birthday event as I began discovering there were many who shared birthdays, not only in March, but in the same week. Now everyone, who's birthday falls in the month of March, gets in for free. The only requirement is that you bring a valid photo ID to show to my door person. I learned this the first year I did this as there were lists, upon lists and still I didn't have everyone's name. The photo ID eliminated a line at the door and much less stress for the person


*****PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD! THERE WILL BE NO BEGINNER CLASSES THAT NIGHT. THE CLASSES WILL BEGIN AT "7:30PM" AND WILL BE "2" ADVANCED BEGINNER CLASSES.*****
Doors open at 7:00pm

The pictures I take at The March Birthday Celebration will be reviewed on a large screen. If I don't think a photo is flattering, it will not get uploaded. If you know I took a photo of you and you don't see it, email me as it will still be on the memory card. I'll do my best to get the pics up that night as long as I get home before 3:00am. The link will be posted on this page.
