The Vernon fund-raising activities for Pass It Along will continue with the annual Philanthropic Dinner Dance beginning at 7 p.m. on Saturday, March 25, at Crystal Springs Golf and Spa Resort. Gary Seitz and the Revsole Band will provide dance music throughout the evening. A live and silent auction will also be held, featuring items such as vacation homes, Broadway tickets with overnight accommodations, spa treatments, fitness memberships and more.
