request the honor of your presence at our
Valentine's Day Dinner and Dance

Saturday, February 14, 2009
6:00 PM to 10:00 PM
Santa Sophia Church - Prendergast Hall
Only $25 per adult age 21+ married or single - all are invited!

Join us as we celebrate love and marriage.  It's all the fun of a wedding party, and no need to buy a gift!

  • Married couples can sign up for some special fun -- a chance to be our surprise bride and groom!  Immediately before dinner our emcee will randomly draw the name of one of our married couples to be honored for the night.  Win a free 2-night stay at Barona Valley Ranch Resort and Casino (dinner and golf are included) as well as the opportunity to be the center of attention at the party!
  • If you are single, sign-up for the drawing to be one of 3 bridesmaids and 3 groomsmen in the wedding party.  You will sit at the head table and you can win a prize, too -- if you catch the bouquet or garter!
  • All couples are encouraged to bring their wedding pictures to place on our display table.
  • Enjoy a pre-dinner social time. Beer and wine will be available.
  • Dine on a delicious gourmet meal and wedding cake served by waiters.
  • Dance the night away with music and fun provided by DJ Thom Hiatt.
  • Men and ladies -- have fun with a "Dollar Dance" featuring the bride and groom.
  • Prizes will be given throughout the night... even jewelry!
