The Senate Ways and Means committee has made progress by moving forward a bill seeking an end to the “opportunity to dance,” tax, but Century Ballroom still needs to raise more than $35,000 to pay Olympia.
To help sweeten its relief fund, Capitol Hill’s Oddfellows Café + Bar is offering 5% of sales Monday to the cause.
“After hearing about Century Ballroom’s situation, the crew over at Oddfellows Café + Bar knew we had to help our neighbor in need. Join us all day on Monday March 11th, and know your sandwich, cocktail, cookie, etc. is going to a good cause (other than your belly!).”
As of Friday, supporters have raised $57,381, or 62.37 percent, of Century Ballroom’s $92,000 bill, leaving them to raise about $641.09 a day until the May 1 deadline.
SB 5613 was placed on second reading by the Rules Committee on March 8 and is awaiting action by the full Senate. According to Century Ballroom, the committee’s goal is to have the bill approved by Wednesday.
