Neon fashions, leg warmers, and up-dos were the dress code at Rhine Hall Entertainment and Event Venue recently as the Literacy Coalition of Howard County hosted an ‘80s dance party on March 8.

There were specialty drinks on the menu and decorations on the table that evoked the spirit of the decade, and the deejay kept the pop, rock, and early hip-hop tunes spinning.



Whether attired in a favorite concert t-shirt or a full-fledged ‘80s makeover, the participants celebrated the days of their youth under black lights and strobes while moving to the beats that defined their experiences.



The Literacy Coalition of Howard County works to improve reading and comprehension among its clients, and it offers English as a Second Language (ESL) education, along with some basic life skills. And it is always looking for people in the community who are willing to volunteer their time to improve literacy.
