This isn’t your typical cheesy dance! The Cheese Club had their first Cheese Ball on Thursday, Feb. 18. The Cheese Club is the first and only club on the McDaniel campus completely dedicated to a food. The Cheese Club was started in order to explore other cultures through cheese.
The semi-formal dance was a Valentine’s Day celebration that had approximately 50 guests. The Ball featured DJs from McDaniel’s own WMCR, and of course an assortment of cheeses and other snacks.
Junior Atlee Baker went to the Cheese Ball “for a fun evening with my girlfriend.”
Different members of the Cheese Club sat outside of Glar and sold tickets in the weeks prior to the Ball as part of a Cheese Club fundraiser.
President of the Cheese Club, Ellen Shank, said that a Cheese Ball would be a fun idea because “it combines cheese and dancing, the two greatest things ever.”
The Cheese Club meets the first and third Thursday of every month at North Village building 195, apartment 202 at 6:30 p.m. For more information about Cheese Club or their upcoming events please email Megan Robinson at mar015@mcdaniel.edu or join the Cheese Club on Facebook.
