Plans of the September Tours and Dance were outlined, with Destination Delco Executive Director volunteering funding for the deposit for Drew Nugent and the Midnight Society for the September 23rd World War One Dance at the Brookhaven Community Center.

Drew Nugent is a local musician who specializes in early jazz music, much of it from the days of the World War One era. He recently released his debut solo record,“I'll Never Be the Same.”

The Tapestry Historic Dance Ensemble will be assisting in teaching basic dance steps to some of the WWI era music provided at the event.
