Another Chance to Dance the Night Away<br />
compiled by Jackie Wyant, Managing Editor<br />
We know quite a few dads and their<br />
daughters were looking forward to<br />
attending our second hosting of the<br />
Daddy-Daughter Dance (DDD) on November<br />
11 th , 2017. Sadly, we had to cancel/postpone<br />
the dance, as we simply didn’t have enough<br />
people sign up to support the cost of<br />
hosting the event. The following is a note<br />
we received from Gregory Ptolemy, who had<br />
planned on attending the 2017 DDD with his<br />
two daughters:<br />
"My daughters and I were anxious to<br />
participate in the Daddy-Daughter Dance this<br />
year, and so the girls got fancied up. When we<br />
heard the event was cancelled, we decided to<br />
make a night out of it anyway. Our outing was<br />
likely not as elegant as the AmSoc party would<br />
have been, but we went and had a nice dinner<br />
and still made it an occasion. Hopefully there<br />
will be more interest in the event for <strong>2018</strong>;<br />
regardless, I think we will make our ‘fancy<br />
night’ a regular event in our household."<br />
A Daddy-Daughter Dance strengthens the<br />
bond between a father and his daughter,<br />
creates lifelong memories and, perhaps most<br />
importantly, teaches girls that they need to be<br />
treated with kindness and respect by the men<br />
in their lives. The AmSoc Board would love to<br />
see this event happen in <strong>2018</strong>. Any volunteers<br />
ready to try again? Send an email to vp@<br />
