It is now less than two weeks until the Club's 2026 fundraiser, "The Roaring 20s", a decade of music and fashion will be held at the FFA Enrichment Center on the DMACC campus in Ankeny on Saturday, April 18, 2026.
Registration will begin at 5:00 PM with social time including complimentary wine and beer which will be available throughout the evening and a buffet dinner to be served at 6:00 PM. Prizes will be awarded for the guests that best represent the “Roaring 20s” theme including the "Spiffiest Dressed Couple", "Best Dressed Doll", and "Most Dapper Guy". The evening will include a performance by the “Drama Kings”, three men with issues, a photo booth, 50/50 raffle, whiskey pull, “Heads or Tails”, and silent and live auctions.
