This fall, GSC has been
sponsoring a night out on the town for our
friends! Come join us for the next
party.
• THE AMBASSADOR HAPPY
HOUR-9/13
Our first event was held at The
Ambassador on 9/13 for a special $2 Tuesday
Happy Hour. Our marketing team and the founders
of Global Service Corps, Rick and Maxine
Lathrop, spent an evening schmoozing and
discussing the many programs and issues that GSC
has continued to address since it’s founding in
1993. We had a wonderful time getting to know
you all, and hope to see you again at upcoming
events!
• SWANK HAPPY HOUR:
10/16
Drink specials for those who donated to
GSC were available, as well as great music with
DJ MELL, comfortable ambiance, and good
discussions revolving around GSC.
•
SALSA DANCING @ CIRCOLO- 11/3 from
7:30-11pm
Our next informal bash will have a
bit of a Latin kick to it! This will certainly
be a night to remember, as there will be
professional salsa instructors giving a salsa
lesson, and performances throughout the evening.
By the end of the evening we hope to see
everyone groovin’ on the dance floor! There will
be drink specials, good company and of course,
plenty of dancin’ room! Put on your dancing
shoes and come spend some time with us.
