Thursdays in Elkton, MD - VFW

This week we start late (at 7:30) because of the VFW board meetings; please wait in the bar and do not try to enter the dance hall until invited, out of respect for our hosts who need the room for their monthly board meeting.

This past Thurs we had a big crowd + incredible time. This week will even be better. Also, I'll teach 2 huge, brand-new dances, Choosing Texas + Love Story + then finish up on Honky Tonk Way. Don't miss them as everyone is asking for the 1st one especially. DJ Jim will play your favorite songs + requests, + will teach some easy ones for beginners, Expect all the hot dances like A BAR SONG, COLD HEART, + HOEDOWN.

Good News: We found an easy way to handle the hardest part of Honky Tonk Way, so it will not be as difficult this week. The Elkton VFW is right in the middle of Elkton, just off 213, just 3 traffic lights north of McDonalds. Turn L at the light after the only 4-5 story bldg on the left. That's High Street. Then go to the next bldg on the left. That's the Elkton VFW. Please no liquids or food or powder for the floor is permitted to be brought in. It is important that everyone still enter the bldg through the bar + immediately sign the guest book by the door.

URGENT NOTE: SIGN-IN immediately as you enter the door. As a Fraternal Charity, the VFW is strictly "members only" and all guests MUST Please sign the Sign-In Logbook in order for the VFW to not get in trouble with the state auditors who require the Visitors Log to be enforced. Everyone, please follow this rule of the VFW. Thank you! (Also - DO NOT ENTER the rear glass doors directly into the Dance Hall. We must all enter via the bar entrance ONLY, and immediately Sign-In at the door.

Please say Thank You with an appropriate Tip every time you get food or drinks - You may not be aware, but the bartender and kitchen help are Volunteers at the VFW serving our Veterans and guests (like us) who come to the VFW - they don't get any pay whatsoever for their work, so your Tips are all they get.

• Order your food no later than 7:50 pm! The kitchen food service stops early, so you must put your order in by 7:50, so please do not complain if they tell you the kitchen is already closed. This has been a problem for the staff, so please Be Kind and cooperate.

Finally - please be patient and kind as the service can be slow especially when cooking burgers because they must be cooked all the way through! We really must be patient for our food orders to be delivered, as usually there is only one person working in the kitchen. If you order burgers, it takes a longer time than most other food orders, so 3-4 people who order behind you and don't order burgers will get their food before you. Let's all be mindful of being extra kind to the VFW Volunteers and help out. Thank you!!

Thursday, THE ELKTON VFW, 7:00- 9:30 The VFW has been absolutely sensational as it's usually packed + always so much fun, so let's all show up, dance + party like crazy. If you missed last Thurs, it was phenomenal with a big crowd. The VFW has an incredible dance floor, food specials every night, our own private room, friendly staff + big crowds every week. As usual, I'll do a few beginners lessons near the beginning but then play everybody's favorites.
