Hello Fellow Dancers,<br />
New Year's Eve is only days away! Do you have your tickets for the New Year's Eve<br />
Ball? Johnny Lewis and his 20 Piece Big Band will be playing at the Olympia Center<br />
on New Year's Eve. If you are looking for something different than the <strong>dance</strong>s you<br />
have attended all year long this is it!<br />
Tickets are on sale now and available at Music 6000 in person, by phone or by mail.<br />
Tickets are limited to ensure there will be room for ballroom dancing. They are still just<br />
$35 per person or $280 for a table of 8. Tickets are going fast since Casanova is<br />
playing for a private party and the Tacoma Elks is closed and its members have been<br />
invited to the Ball so I suggest you get your tickets as soon as possible. The event<br />
includes a complimentary champagne toast at midnight and substantial hors<br />
d'oeuvres plus a no host bar.<br />
The Olympia Center is located at 222 Columbia St. NW, Olympia, WA 98504. Doors<br />
will open at 8:00 PM on New Year’s Eve. The Ball begins at 8:30 PM and goes until<br />
12:30 AM. The impressive Johnny Lewis Band, in formal splendor, will play a<br />
wonderful selection of music for ballroom <strong>dance</strong>rs, and their many other devoted fans.<br />
This dream-come-true event topped with Olympia’s most ample New Year’s Eve<br />
ballroom <strong>dance</strong> floor (3750 square feet) will be a treasure this holiday season.<br />
Suggested attire is semiformal/formal. The New Year's Eve Ball at the Olympia Center<br />
has been the place in Olympia where <strong>dance</strong>rs (both singles & couples) celebrate the<br />
beginning of the new year for the past three years!<br />
