4th Saturday-
Unfortunately the prospect of a 4th Saturday dance is not in the immediate future. A group of us, with Irene Coon at the helm, did our very best in trying to organize a new dance. The Centerville location was good and many dancers supported the idea. But because of prior commitments, geography, and logistics, we were unable to line up musicians and callers. Thanks to all who helped.
