Thank you, Everything but the Kitchen Sink, for performing last Wednesday. We enjoyed singing, dancing and having fun! Afterwards, we gathered in our fire place room for our Wine & Back to the '80s Happy Hour with drinks and appetizers. We had so much fun with '80s trivia, music, socializing and reminiscing with one another. What was your favorite '80s song?
