Friday Night out at the Library

I got this email from Candice Lutz at the library earlier this week and she asked me to write about it.

The last time I wrote to you I announced the start of the Round Lake Area Public Library’s performing arts series, Sunday Sampler. It has been a resounding success, offering top quality professional entertainment to the Round Lake area community for free.

In fact, on Sunday, February 24 at 2 our most popular performers ever, the steelpan combo Musical Steel, will return. I’m writing to you now because the library is launching another new life enrichment program. This one is called Friday Night Out, an event that will debut on Friday (!) February 29 from 7 – 9 p.m. at the library.

For our first program dance instructor Ivette Roque will teach an hour of salsa, followed by an hour of dancing those new moves to music. Ms. Roque will be on hand to help the uncertain until the program ends. We will serve light refreshments, and all are welcome. That means that families with kids, teens, singletons and couples can enjoy an evening out learning something new for no cost.

Plans are in the works to offer a “rhythm in the round” program for April’s Friday Night Out, an opportunity for all to play percussive instruments in individual groups and as a whole, with the rhythms intertwining. I’m pleased that the library is able to provide these cultural opportunities for enjoyment and enrichment at no cost to area residents, and I wanted to let you know about it.
