Queen of Peace hosted its last dinner dance of the season on October 24 at the Hempstead Golf and Country Club. Oktoberfest (previously called German Fest) was a high-energy fun-filled evening! Guests arrived around 6:30 p.m. and were treated to a delicious German feast that included everyone’s favorites from soft pretzel appetizers to black forest cake for dessert.
Music was once again provided by husband and wife team Bud and Linda, who had everyone dancing the night away to traditional polkas, stately waltzes & good old rock and roll.
Auxiliary outdid themselves with raffle baskets on top of a “dine around” where gift cards from restaurants all over Long Island were cleverly displayed on a table-top Christmas tree that was part of the prize. We even auctioned off a fur coat!
The Little Sisters of the Poor are forever grateful to have such a joy filled family of donors! Alle Hatten Ein Gut Zeit! Or… as we say in America, A good Time Was Had By All.
