We now have a new contract with UCT for 2010 for Friday night dances. Please continue to support our dances. Due to increased Hall cost, we will have to raise our admission price to $10 in January.
Next year, we encourage members to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries with us at one of our dances.
Where else can you go, have a great facility, and the best bands in Louisiana for only $10 a person?

George was a long time member who held many CFMA offices & was well-noted for his dancing.
