Get Your Glad Rags Ready!
March 2023
By BRittany amalfi
Here’s some fun for everyone! The Roaring 20’s Ball hosted by Voices Against Violence is back! So get your dancing shoes ready, because on March 18th, the Common Man in Plymouth will be lit up with everyone dressed to the nines with an evening filled with excitement and pleasure.
The ball includes dinner at a beautiful sight, live music, danc- ing, a silent auction, and just an overall wonderful atmosphere. In the past, the Roaring 20’s Ball typically had about 220 people attend the throwback event, and each year was better than the last. And since we were launched into the pandemic, this is the first year back since COVID-19 came about.
Everyone should get ready for a night of dancing to the fantastic band Rusty Bones! With people dressing up in costume to show off their throwback 20s style, you might think you were transported back to 1925! However, with that being said, no one has to come in costume. Just go and have fun!
Voices Against Violence has reached out to local businesses in the area to sponsor the Roar- ing 20’s Ball, and then they ad- vertise their services at the ball along with having their items at the silent auction! Meg Kennedy Dugan, the Executive Director of VAV, tells me that they typi- cally have from 50-100 items to auction off.
The Roaring 20’s Ball is Voices Against Violence’s biggest fundraising event of the year. All proceeds go to VAV, which is a local nonprofit center that serves 700-800 individuals who are in need every year. They are a crisis center, they have a 24-hour ho- tline, as well as a confidential cen- ter and support system. A few of the notable things Voices against Violence does are supporting people in court, supporting vul- nerable people at difficult times in their life, providing a confi- dential shelter, (which people come from all over the country for), and making the individuals more than survivors. They help them thrive.
So, participating in this in- credible event is for a great cause in the community. And, not to mention, think about all the fun
everyone will have! “Not only do people come and have an incred- ible time, but we work with so many facets of the community
like law enforcement, attorneys, etc., and everyone comes provid- ing a wide variety of people who come and just have a good time,” Meg says. The Roaring 20s Ball is nothing but a fantastic night under the stars where people can forget about their hectic lives and just enjoy a night of music and dancing with a bunch of great people.
Tickets are on sale at their website, at http://www.voice- sagainstviolence.net/roaring- 20s-ball-2023/. Interested parties can buy a table of ten to ensure all of their seats are together, or buy single tickets with no re- served seating.
No one should miss out on this event. I mean, who would want to miss their chance at see- ing a flapper from the 1920s?
Voices Against Violence’s message is “ To break the cycle of violence by providing com- prehensive services for all victims and survivors and by creating social change through education and action.”
