,!i February 14th, 2017 Happy Valentines Last Thursday night, we celebrated with our Valentines dance. A table was filled with goodies for everyone to enjoy.
A great turnout of 68 people,many wearing pink and red, enjoyed the festivities. Bill Chesnut called the tips as the dancers formed squares. Bill did a great job of keeping the dancers moving and made the calls fun. On a rare occasion, when a square broke down, Bill would say, These are not calls but merely suggestions.
The round dancers had their opportunity to circle the floor. Soon it would be time for Co-President, Wayne Miller to make the announcements Who would hold the lucky ticket for the 50-50 drawing worth $41. The winner is Reggie Dubay. Congratulations Reggie! The next drawing would be for the winner of the Free Pass. This week s winner won the drawing for the Last Tip last week, however she was not present to claim her prize. This week she was present and her ticket was drawn.
Congratulations Donna Myers! Yes, we have a Last Tip winner. Hazel Clark s number was drawn, #7, and she was awarded $8 in winnings. This week the drawing will be worth $5.
