The new website for the Friends...

• Janeen at the Best Western has a special for New Year’s Eve: “One night only — December 31, 2009, you can Eat, Drink and be Merry!

Special 4 course incredible dinner packages ($79.95 per couple, modest $10 cover otherwise). Champagne toasts, doodads, amusements, noise-makers and New Decade Dance Music.
Yes, The PRB have added dance material (instrumental and otherwise) and hop-skipity cover tunes to their persistent and dubious undertakings. Unparalleled new and original tunes are still in the mix for the hard core.

Come on, it’s a new decade (and a full moon). Have some fun. You can sleep when you’re dead.
See the colorful attached poster (below) for more details, and we hope to see you there!
