Well, if that doesn't have you all revved up and ready to ROCK 'n ROLL on May 19th my beauties I don't know what will...so put your dancing shoes on - preferably stiletto types, come hungry for treats of all kinds and bring a wallet full of money to spend. I promise that you will have the time of your life...not to mention getting to feel good about helping feed women and children in your own community suffering from hunger and food instability.
