Upcoming Events
10 Feb - Fri - Valentine Sweetheart Dance
Spread the word, get your friends together, and come down to the Jenks on February 10 for a swinging night of music. We have invited The Entertainers, a well-known band with a large following in New England. Those who know them love their music. They will serve up some great sounds, and we will serve treats and provide a wine and beer bar. Glide across the floor and listen to your favorite music, old classics, swing tunes, line dances, Latin and current favorites for your dancing pleasure.
Couples, bring your sweetheart. Singles, bring a friend, or come alone. (Men, you too!) Tickets to this event are $15 per person, and are available at the Center. We ask that you get tickets in advance, so that we can plan and provide enough food for everyone. You may call the Center at 781-721-7136 to reserve tickets and tables. Join us for an enjoyable evening!
