On Saturday, February 11th from 8PM to Midnight at the Sayville VFW, come and join us as Long Island Community Fellowship hosts its Red Velvet Dinner Dance.

There will be a buffet dinner, dessert and coffee, cash bar, a 50/50 raffle and a fabulous silent auction, and of course great company that will make this a night to remember. So grab your sweetheart or ask that “someone special” and head over to the VFW Hall in Sayville to dance the night away! There will also be a “Special GUEST Performer!” (We cannot tell you who it is…you must GUESS!).

Tickets are $25 per person, send a check made payable to LICF and mail to:

The “Art Room” —filled with the most beautiful pieces of artwork to behold—bedazzled the attendees. The works of Rev. Dr. G. Shane Hibbs, Jenri Gonzalaz, Rob Camacho, Ed Smith, Brian Atkins, Rick Odell, and Luis Paccini were outstanding. Also on hand were Gina Pecoraro (of Seven Even), Edie Cunningham, Gina Decaro, Jonelle & Jennifer, and Long Island’s own Gay/Lesbian Film Festival with various—and uniquely crafted—items for purchase. Glenn Hansen and Pete Daly were the winners of the Silent Auction, and purchased a painting by Pastor Shane Hibbs. It will undoubtedly display prominently in their home.

The “Performance Room” was filled with musical entertainment at various points in the day. It started with the exuberant sounds of The Long Island Gay Men’s Chorus (doing both group and solo numbers), and Manhattan cabaret performer Erik Sisco, and his partner, Dana Piccoli. This duo immediately won the hearts of the entire audience.

Later in the day, singer Robert Urban treated the audience to some beautiful pieces. He is a welcomed guest at any event. This was followed by the outstanding Pandora’s Vox. No strangers to the Long Island GLBT Community, the members of Pandora’s Vox rocked the house, and had people dancing in the aisles. The performances were topped off by Long Island Community Fellowship’s own Gospel Choir. Under the leadership of Joe Fiore, Jr., once again the Choir enthralled their listeners.

Pastor Shane Hibbs was enthused about this project from the start. He, along with the LICF Leadership, worked with great effort to make this event happen. And while Pastor Shane was not physically there, everyone truly felt his presence at this event, and knew that he was proud.

Thank you to all who participated in this event for making it a great day!
