We are hoping your choice of attire for the event will be as varied as the food we’ll be serving, the games we’ll be playing and the music we’ll be spinning, everything from the 50s, 60s to more current tunes. Are you someone who knows where Lynyrd Skynard got their name? Come in your favorite bell bottoms and nehru jacket. Or were you more of a disco queen or king, in which case some platform shoes and stretch jumpsuit might be more appropriate? Did you sing “We are the World” or hum incessantly to “Every Breathe You Take,” then you might want to pull out your leggings or 3 inch tie. Or maybe contemporary formal or super casual with some cool sunglasses is your thing. Whatever your fancy, we hope you’ll help to make this a great celebration.
