WMCC's 7th Annual Black & White Ball
The Western Montana Community Center is pleased to announce it will once again host the Annual Black and White Ball on March 3, 2012, at the Holiday Inn Parkside – Downtown Missoula. This formal event serves as the major fundraising for the Center each year.
We invite you to join us for an evening of dancing to the energetic music of Full Grown Men. The five-man band specializes in blues and jazz-based dance music, with the emphasis on rhythm, swing, energy, and soul.
The Riverbend restaurant will be serving scrumptious appetizers, a no-host bar will be supplied by Brooks & Browns, and a silent auction will also help raise funds. A professional photographer will be available to take black and white portrait photographs of couples, friends, and loved ones.
