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 />
