Fundraising event to support the student-veterans at CalState LA. Join Jonathan Stout and His Campus Five, featuring Hilary Alexander for an evening of amazing dancing at the beautiful American Legion Post 43 in Hollywood. Band starts at 8, lessons at 7 with Mike and Laura.

Pre-sale tickets available at the CSULA campus ($10 for students/ $15 non-students) or at the door ($15 students/ $20 non-students). [Actually, next door at the Best Western, long story, but think of it like a speak-easy]

This is a 21 and over event (sorry folks), but will be a great event! 100% of the proceeds go directly to benefit programs and scholorships for the student-veterans at CSULA!

Questions? Let me know! And thank you for your support!
