Civitan is proud to announce the Steppin’ Out Dance on March 7, 2025 at 5:30-9:00PM.  Please feel free to share this with anyone you know who would like to volunteer. All volunteers need to be at Sunrise United Methodist Church by 5:30 on the night of the event. Please park in the rear of the building to leave spaces for our guests. You will be reminded of your duty prior to the event. If you would like to help organize any of the planning, please let me know. We do not have a solid theme for this dance, but the color green will be a major component of the theme due to the proximity to Saint Patrick's Day. 

Any groups needing hours are encouraged to sign up!!
