Annual dinner dance to benefit radio station

KRCU will host its fifth annual Hearts and Swing Dinner Dance Feb. 15, sponsored by the Women's Heart Advantage at St. Francis Medical Center.

This year's event will be held at the A.C. Brase Arena Building in Cape Girardeau beginning at 6:30 p.m. with a social.

Guests will then enjoy a gourmet buffet dinner featuring a variety of side dishes and chocolate desserts from 7 to 8 p.m.

"Southeast Jazz," under the direction of Barry Bernhardt, will take to the stage from 8 to 11 p.m. and provide Swing and Big Band Music, featuring both new and old selections.

KRCU began this annual tradition in 1999, drawing as many as 250 people in attendance.

"Everything is taken care of for your," said general manager Dan Woods. "We set the table, provide the music and even clean up afterward. All that's required of our guests is that they bring their dancing shoes and have a good time with their friends."

It's a perfectly pre-arranged evening out for anybody celebrating Valentine's Day, according to organizers.

Tickets are $35 each and must be purchased by Feb. 12. To charge by phone, call KRCU at 651-5070. Tickets are also available at the KRCU studios during business hours at 338 N. Henderson in Cape Girardeau.
