Hi John,
I will not be able to attend tomorrow, sorry.  However, for the closing evening, I believe Art first suggested the possibility of getting a DJ spinning dance music or whatever general mix.  I think that would be fun for everyone and I doubt the students will have the equipment needed to do it effectively.  Perhaps the Y would have some recommendations.
cheers,
Bob
