Dance party is Saturday night, not Friday as one misprint stated

It was brought to our attention that one page on our web site had the dance party listed as Friday rather than Saturday 3/16. (Thank you, Jane!)

If you go Friday it may be fun, but there will be no Freewheelers there!

The correct info is:

Flash Mob Dance Party Freewheelers Flash Mob Dance Party Saturday 3/16 7PM ! The Laundromat Speakeasy 4 Dehart St. Morristown. Be there! Bring a friend or potential new member: ) No cover, live dance band, cash bar, Pizza or something interesting by MAFW. Link below to sign up so we can estimate food.
