Michael Echaniz Memorial Swing Dance Benefit: Save the date for March 18th
Mark your calendars for an upcoming Swing Dance evening with Yesterday Swing Orchestra which benefits the Michael Echaniz Memorial Fund! The event will be held on March 18, 2023, from 7:00pm to 9:30pm, at New Hope Bible Church.
Michael was not only one of the Jig ‘n’ Jive’s first Swing Kids but a former student of mine at Chelsea Academy. He loved to dance, and I hope that we flock to the floor in honor of a good man and fun-loving kid.
The directors, Victor and Marueen Rohr, of the Yesterday Swing Orchestra are parents of Chelsea Alumni, Galen and Bernadette, who went to school with Michael.
Though the following poster lists ticket prices, truly ANY donation will get you through the door. Bring friends, family, neighbors, and strangers – come dance, enjoy the music, and spread the word!
Gents, don’t forget your fedora and/or bow tie.
Hope to see you there,
Annie Guttierrez
