Latin gala to raise money for Wheaton Volunteer Rescue Squad March 28

The Wheaton Volunteer Rescue Squad is hosting a fiesta for a great cause this Saturday, March 28, at their new Ballroom at Wheaton Glen facility above the squad at 2400 Arcola Avenue.

Proceeds from the event will go toward the purchase of a $1,000,000 truck needed for the squad, due to aging equipment.

The event will feature Salsa and a variety of other Latin music performed by Laura Sosa and Pa’ Gozar Latin Band. The band is widely known for performing at festivals and Latin venues throughout the Washington, DC area. The show will also include a performance by Titanes Salseros, the Latin dance team from Albert Einstein High School. Free Latin dance lessons will be provided starting at 7pm, courtesy of Flying Feet Enterprises. The WVRS will be serving Latin food items (for an additional cost) and have a cash bar. There will also be door prizes, a raffle, and other cash games.

Doors will open at 7:00 PM.

Tickets are $25 for adults and children 12 and over. For more information:
