The Velvetones from 5:30-9 p.m.— TheVelvetonesBallroomDance Orchestra is Leisure World’s own professional big band, playing big band swing and jazz standards. This year, by popular demand, they will be back on New Year’s Eve in Clubhouse 4. Doors open at 5:30 and the band will play from 6-9 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 31.
