Dinner-Dance a Huge Success

All That Jazz Dinner Dance

A sell-out crowd  enjoyed a great evening of food, music and dancing provided by the incredible Hospitality Commission, a host of volunteers and Pittsburgh’s newest sensation “Jazz Conspiracy.” Weeks of preparation did not prepare us totally for the overflow crowd of PMCer’s and community members as Doug Miller scrambled to set up extra tables and chairs.

Throughout the day, the aroma of sauces simmering wafted through the building making it hard for the staff to concentrate on their work. Kathleen Good and Ken Zeleny were faithful stirrers as the pots bubbled their own melody. The kitchen was a buzz of activity as a steady stream of volunteers prepared the food for our hungry guests. Tables were arranged, rearranged to accomodate our guests with Alma Kauffman adding that feminine touch to make the room glow.

Guy Smith and Ken Zeleny greeted our guests as the Fellowship Hall soon filled to capacity. Word spread throughout the community and greater Pittsburgh area that PMC was the place to be. A special thank you to PATCH for promoting our cause. As the guest enjoyed a tasty meal served by our wonderful volunteers the Jazz Conspiracy demonstrated why they are the band to watch in 2012. A group of  19 musicians from various backgrounds under the direction of Dan Lindey demonstrated a high caliber of energy and talent. Feet were tapping and hands were clapping as the band wowed us with standards and new arrangements from the big band era. Young and old alike filled the dance floor. The highlight of the evening was a “special performance” by several PMC men who danced out the dessert trays much to the delight of the audience. Who says Mennonites don’t dance?

A special thank you goes out to all of those who volunteered their talents, energy and time to make this event a success! There are too many to name but you all deserve to take a bow! This was definitely a community effort and we are blessed by you all. Much gratitude and appreciation goes out to our hostess Kathleen Good who pulled  this event together. Proceeds of this event will go towards a commercial sized refrigerator for our kitchen. Happy dancing until next time!
