SOCIALIZING SINGLES

Selective Singles hosts this social at Veranda Greek Taverna. Belly dancers will perform and teach their craft. A DJ and dance floor add to the festivities, but the restaurant says its tables are strong enough for dancing on as well. The staff is planning to lead a Greek wedding dance and conga line around the bar. Admission includes appetizers and your first drink. RSVP required.
