As you can see, Mildred and Trudi look stunning in their Tee Shirts and you can too.  We have had these shirts for awhile and we would love to get rid of them.  We have mostly smalls in the black tank tops; a couple of XL black tee shirts, and a variety of the dark blue tee shirts.  You can make your very own fashion statement for only $10.  THAT'S RIGHT!  $10 FOR A WONDERFUL QUALITY HIGH FASHION TEE SHIRT. Just contact us through our contact page and I will make sure you get one or  two or three.

 With a lot of very hard work, we are open again and ready to break in the new floor.  Jazzercise is there this morning and so far the reports are very favorable.  We also replaced the linoleum in the kitchen which makes the area look bright and clean.   Come and check it out and report back.  We love feedback.

 I went by the hall yesterday and the floor is being installed in record time.  They are doing a beautiful job, and, this floor will have something the other floor did not and that is a vapor barrier.  Feel free to stop by and have a look at the floor.  Let me know what you think.  We also will be putting new linoleum in the kitchen but that will not happen until next Friday.  Don't worry, the new linoleum will not match anything else in the hall in keeping with the Monroe Hall style- certainly part of the charm.

 What a day we had.  I thought only a few people would show up to help remove the old floor to make way for our new floor- boy was I wrong.  Eight am and twenty five people showed up!  Within 4 hours amidst a storm of dust and noise that would rival any jet engine, the old floor was totally removed.  Check out the photos that Michael Van der Porten took.  So now we are left with a pile of wood in the front of the hall- a pile of memories, years of polish from dancers feet.

 Join the crowd and get your bumper sticker.  We are asking $1.00 for 2 bumper stickers- such a deal.  Contact me through our "contact page" and I will make sure you get as many bumper stickers as your car can hold.  Show everyone that anybody who is anyone goes to Monroe Hall.

 And the bumper sticker winner is EMILY SHAUL with North Bay Country Dance Society!  Yea Emily!  Our new (and first) bumper sticker will read "Get Your Move On @ Monroe Hall/ www.monroe-hall.com.  Now I just have to have them printed.  If you want one please contact me through the contact page :)

Recently I have been asked a number of times "What do I get for my money?".  What you get for your money at Monroe Hall is a full evening of entertainment, a place to gather and have a great time with old friends and meet new friends.  Behind the scenes, $10 pays for a door person, dance instructors (sometimes multiple instructors), wear and tear on sound equipment, rent for the hall, advertising, and after all of this some minimal income- maybe.  $15 for an evening with a top rated live band also pays for the band.

 This is my very first blog; I guess I am not too old to learn after all.  As you have noticed, Monroe Hall now has a brand new website.  What's nice about it is that it will be easy to add new content and change old content.  It is a busy time at Monroe Hall with new and fun one time events such as a Mother's Day Tea  and Quartet in April being put on by Fox And Moon Tea Catering Company; Mardi Gras Ball this Saturday the 19th and a Belly Dance clinic this Sunday with Elana Quinhuis.
