The Lindy Hoppers Fund will be sponsoring a community project assisting Gloria Caldwell, the 2009 Recipient of the Lindy Hoppers Fund. Gloria was one of the original Savoy Ballroom Dancers, and has danced to jazz greats all over the world. Gloria's home took quite a beating during Katrina, and the Lindy Hopper's Fund is requesting help from the international community to assist with rebuilding Gloria's home (think of Habitat for Humanity). More details to come soon, but bring a pair of work shoes, shorts, and an old t-shirt!

From 9:00 PM - 12:00 AM, we will be hosting a fund-raiser dance featuring live music from The Courtyard Kings gypsy jazz band and DJ Bill Borgida. $10+ Donation.

Gloria Caldwell and LHF Representative Peter Strom will be in attendance during the day and at the dance in case you should have any questions regarding the LHF. And yes, Peter will be available to dance with. ;)
