OH WHAT A NIGHT!

Well, it wasn't late December back in '63 but it sure was mid-June in the 70's! Community members dressed in their 'finest' were out to display their leisure suits, bell bottoms, headbands, platform shoes, 70's wigs, etc....FABULOUS!!!

From the wonderful 70's themed foods sponsored by Il Palio, to the great wines sponsored by Cork & Keg of Shelton, Tequila Sunrises and Harvey Wall Bangers sponsored by John J Sullivan's of Ansonia, to the groovy music of Bill Piaciatelli our DJ, the night was one to remember.

Special thanks to the group from Fletcher-Thompson, Inc. who definitely took the group prize for 70's garb! Then of course there was our own Chamber President, Bill Purcell in his white leisure suit, red sequins shirt and brown wig, as well as Diane Stroman, TEAM's Executive Director who looked like a million bucks in her spaghetti strapped dress, dark glasses and great wig! Fletcher-Thompson's CFO Mike Marcinek and Bill Purcell competed for a while for the John Travolta prize doing splits on the dance floor. Wonder how their legs feel today?? Valley United Way's Volunteer Director Pat Tarasovic and our Marketing/Communications Assistant John Ready also were adorned with great wigs and outfits! Check out our website www.valleyunitedway.org over the next day or so to experience all of the excitement!

Besides having a great night of fun and entertainment, we raised funds to help needy members of our community! That's what it is all about.

OH WHAT A NIGHT TO REMEMBER.....Thanks to everyone who attended and helped out!
