Email received from a guest couple who attended our 1950's dance:

"[We] had a great time. More than anything the people there were incredible. We have never been to any dance when everyone made us feel so welcome. We talked about that for days after the dance. I hope that everybody there is aware of the special group that you have. We will certainly come again."
