’80s Night in Chatham, NJ

April 1, 2011
By Turpin Real Estate

‘80s Night Fundraiser on April 2 at the Chatham United Methodist Church

Tease your hair up big, get out your neon fashions and get ready to rock the 1980s all over again.  The Chatham United Methodist Church is hosting an ‘80s Night fundraiser on Saturday, April 2 to benefit local food banks.  This event is also supported by Methodist churches in Wayne, Caldwell, Franklin Lakes, Montville and Butler to raise money for the Center of United Methodist Aid to the Community in Paterson.

Musicians from Parish Drive, the Wayne United Methodist Church’s house band, will be joined by fellow musicians and friends to form the Amped Up Parish Drive Big Band.  In order to reach their fundraising goal of $10,000, the band took $20 song requests.  Each donor has the option to hear the band play their song, or hop on stage and play or sing along with the band for their selection.  According to the event’s website, the playlist is nearly sold out.

In addition to big hair music, the night will offer ‘80s makeovers for $50 each followed by a runway show; event t-shirts for sale; and food by Thyme and Honey Gourmet Catering.  Prizes will be awarded for the best costume and the winner of a Rubik’s cube competition.

Tickets are $10 in advance or $12 at the door.  Dinner starts at 6pm and the show begins at 7pm.  Food and non-alcoholic beverages will be sold.  The Chatham United Methodist Church is located at 460 Main Street.

The Chatham United Methodist Church’s ‘80s night promises to be a spirited musical event that will bring friends and neighbors together.  It’s just the kind of community gathering that makes Chatham a special place to live.  If you are interested in finding out more about Chatham real estate or Chatham homes for sale, contact our Chatham Office at 186 Main Street, several blocks from the church.  Our sales associates live and work here, so we are always happy to share our knowledge of the area.
