Last chance to buy tickets to St. Paddy’s dance

GRF’s fourth annual St. Patrick’s Day Dinner Dance will be held Sunday, March 17.

Clubhouse 4 will fill with the aroma of corned beef and cabbage, baby carrots and roasted red potatoes, a Sonoma salad dressed with a raspberry vinaigrette and brownies, all catered by Country Gardens. Strains of Irish music will be provided by an authentic Celtic band.

This year, GRF is bringing back Sportive Tricks, a Celtic band with a kick. From time-honored sing-alongs and sea chanteys, to covers with a twist and original songs, the seven members of Sportive Tricks each bring their own voices, instrumental talents, experience and energy for a toe-tapping good time. The band received rave reviews after their 2023 performance.

Anyone needing a ride during these special service hours (4:30-9:15 p.m.) must call and request a bus pickup when they are ready to go to the event.

This is not a reservation service, but instead a call for service as soon as possible. Rides to the event and/or home will be available by calling 562-431-6586, ext. 2379, and asking for an “On-Call” pickup. Passengers requesting a ride will need to go immediately to the location they told to the dispatch person. The “On-Call” bus will usually arrive within 5-15 minutes following the request for a ride. Return rides home can be requested by the same process, but the bus will also wait at the south entrance of Clubhouse 4 to take party goers home. A few tickets are still available at the Recreation Office, located in Building 5, up until Friday, March 15.

Dinner and dancing are included for $45 or $325 for a table of eight. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. The band performs from 6-8. People are encouraged to practice the jig and dig some green duds out of their closet.

Tickets are available for $45 at the

Recreation Office.
