Several Lakeway Area teens have been invited to be one of the Presentees at the 63rd Annual Teen Board Presentation Dance.

The Teen Board Presentation Dance, Saturday evening August 19, is one of the largest teenage (black tie) dances in the country where teenagers and adults alike enjoy the same social occasion.

Last year hundreds of leading teenagers as well as adults (from various parts of the United States) enjoyed the same event.

The Birmingham Post-Herald said, “Far more than any other social fling, the Teen Board Presentation Dance of Knoxville, Tennessee is emerging into one of the most elegant and auspicious occasions on the social calendar of the South.”

This is the one outstanding social event of the year. It is not just a dance or a social debut for teenagers. It has far greater meaning. The Teen Board of Knoxville is building leaders for the future.

The Teen Board of Knoxville is a private, non-profit organization solely for teenagers grades 9-12, with adult help. Its purpose is to get teenagers to work and take the lead in civic and welfare projects, and to lift their social and moral life to higher standards.

Last year over 7,000 hours were given to civic and welfare projects for charitable organizations.

After 63 years, adults have seen results of this work in the good leadership in colleges and universities shown by our former members. By learning to help those less fortunate at this age, in turn they have helped themselves develop a public and civic responsibility they are carrying on as adults.

This Presentation Dance is a reward for those local girls and boys who have completed their hours of service.

On Saturday, August 19, the weekend starts with practice and brunch. The evening of August 19, will continue with the Presentation of the presentees and dance at the Knoxville Civic Coliseum.

Following the presentation is a black–tie reception.
