REVISITING THE ROARING 20s

“A Throwback to the 1920s” was the theme of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Lake and Sumter Counties inaugural Benefit Bash, held at the Savannah Center in The Villages. Those in attendance enjoyed casino games, dancing, a multicourse dinner, and an auction. In addition, a prize was awarded for the best-dressed gal or gangster, and live entertainment was provided by the Red Garter Jazz Band.
