Dominican Gala Dinner and Baseball Players
If it's any incentive to single women, major league baseball players will be there. Although the correct incentive should be to give money towards an after-school program for at risk students, everyone needs their own reasons.
Let me know if anyone is interested in attending and we'll get tickets together.
The event will include great entertainment, culture, colorful costumes, traditional music and Dominican cuisine. They are extending invitations to many Dominican born baseball players and Alumni from various Mayor League Baseball teams, to honor them as we celebrate their culture.http://www.bellaqdancestudio.com/Gran_Dominican_Gala_2012.html
