Social time will be a programmed interactive fellowship segment.
Theme: “Party Like It’s 1999,” a "Name That Tune" game with songs from all the decades we’ve been celebrating.
For apparel, wear something bright and colorful, such as a t-shirt with travel destination on it for “traveling out of the 90s.”
If you can’t find any of those or other apparel from the 80s in your closet or local thrift shop, anything bold and colorful will do. Join us for a trip down memory lane!
