"To be perfectly honest I was a little scared when I saw a bunch off people dancing in a circle when I pulled up to LTC...Boy was I wrong! The whole LTC experience was phenomenal!

Songfest and LTC games were great too!  I hope to be a part of the LTC family for years to come.  LTC has a special place in my heart!"

"LTC was such an amazing experience. When i signed up I'll admit that i was kind of worried...buit when I left Medford Lakes I could have never prepared to be transported from New Jersey to Baltic Ave. to AFRICA to Oz...even though I expected to get a reaction from the polka dot unitard thing, I didn't know that everyone would be that shocked and that I would receive a standing ovation...I am still singing all the songs!"
