 It was my first time and it was a blast! I thought it was very well organized. The only "criticism" is to perhaps add more tables next year and have the live band sound louder (sometimes instruments weren't heard well or were too soft). Looking forward to next year!!!

How did you like the event?

 This was a 5 star event. I can't believe this was 100% volunteer-run. Awesome program for a great cause. Nachos for a 1940's swing dance were a great idea, considering the history of it. Yum!

How did you like the event?

 We had a great time. The music was great, the dance floor was perfect for dancing, and the decorations enhanced the atmosphere. My only comment is that the talking by the MC during the breaks got a little annoying at times. However, I also realize that attendees not familiar with the post might have found that info very useful. The nacho bar was very tasty.

How did you like the event?

 The facility was fabulous, the nacho bar was good and the swing band was good. I might suggest changing the PowerPoint slides during the program.

How did you like the event?

 Please do not change a thing. The nachos were way better than expected - loaded w/ meats & tons of condiments. The venue & vibe were perfect. The dancing was fun, and the instructor was really easy to understand. Loved the cash bar & complementary wine. My wife & I know several couples who we will be bringing back next year, for what we hope is will be the ANNUAL dance. We really hope you don't change a thing, so we can enjoy this perfect event with our friends next
