Generations Unite on the Dance Floor
The Registry’s 45th Year
—A Celebration of Community, Connection, & Dance—
As we prepare to begin our 45th year, The Registry, a long-standing social organization founded in December 1981, is excited to invite young people, college students, and members of the community to join our single seniors for a joyful and spirited. As we prepare to begin our 45th year, we’re celebrating not only our history, but the power of community, connection, and shared fun across generations.
Originally created to give single adults (age 40 and up) a welcoming place to socialize, The Registry has been home to decades of friendships, cultural events, and unforgettable dance nights. Now, as our members “age out,” we hope to open our doors even wider — inviting college students, young adults, and anyone who has contributed to their community to join us in celebrating the holidays together.
Through the years, our dance floor has moved to everything from elegant waltzes to the rhythms of the ’30s and ’40s, all the way to classic Rock and Roll.
Whether you love to dance or just enjoy the music, this night promises warmth, laughter, and shared memories. After all, everyone responds to rhythm — even babies sway to music! And while we may not all be perfect dancers, we’ve always been a group that simply loves to move, stay active, and socialize.
Why all Singles Young at heart Are Invited
We know that only a few young people love to dance, mingle, and celebrate life. By joining us, you’ll connect with a fun, welcoming group of seniors who believe in staying active and embracing joy at every age. It’s an opportunity for generations to come together, learn from one another, and enjoy an evening filled with holiday spirit.
Come Celebrate With Us! The Band Will be “The Talk of the Town”
We encourage all interested young people and community members to come out, meet new friends, and experience The Registry’s tradition of celebration. Bring your energy, your holiday cheer, and your dancing shoes!

About
Welcome Members & Guests!
What is The Registry?
The Registry of Oklahoma City was organized in the spring of 1981 as a fraternal society dedicated to providing social, cultural, educational, and benevolent activities for a select group of unmarried adults. In order to achieve and maintain an optimal level of social homogeneity, it was deemed minimally essential that there be compatibility in socioeconomic, educational, or cognate experiential background. Activities include group attendance at cultural events, a monthly dinner dance, held on a rotating basis at all local golf and country clubs, and periodic charity benefits. The Registry has contributed over $200,000 to various fine arts organizations in the Oklahoma City area.

What to Expect as a First Time Guest
Your first visit to The Registry will be at a dinner dance. The country club dinner dances are seated affairs with an equal number of men and women in attendance. Appropriate dress is required. A cash bar is provided. Invitations are sent to guests based on his or her personal qualifications, not on any relationship to a member. In order to be considered for membership, a guest must attend a minimum of five dinner dances.
How to Get Started
A request to attend may be made by any unmarried business professional who is at least 40 years of age, and is either sponsored or known by a member of The Registry or who has submitted an approved e-mail application. Upon submitting an application you will be contacted by the membership committee in the near future to get acquainted. You will hear from us soon—however, in that equal numbers of men and women are maintained at dinner dances, it may not be possible to invite you as soon as we would like. We hope that you will graciously consent to share an evening with us soon.
