There’s excitement in the air. Not only are we looking forward to Christmas where we celebrate Christ’s birth by sharing gifts or acts of kindness with our friends, family and neighbors, we are celebrating the success of our students who will be able to join us for dances beginning in December. Grove City Western Squares has five couples that are learning to square dance and Bob Daye, our instructor, is very pleased with their progress. It has been a pleasure to have them as part of our club and to make new friends.
We had a tremendous Halloween dance with Jack Pladdys and Phyliss Burdette with more than ten squares. To view the photos of the Halloween dance plus other summer events, go to www.grovecitywesternsquares.com. Also the dance with Gary Kincade and Bob Shover on the 12th was a lot of fun. Several couples had already left for the Turkey Strut but we compensated for them in our dancing, laughing and eating.
GCWS is a sponsor of the Toys for Tots dance on December 4, 2-5p.m. at the Whitehall Community Park. We hope everyone will attend that dance and help collect toys for the children. Admission is a $9 toy, per person, that will go to a special child. Because our second dance would fall on Christmas Eve, there will only be only one dance in December. It will be December 10, a Hi-Lo Christmas Dance. The callers will be Keith Rippeto and Bob Daye with Sue Powell cueing. The January dances are January 14, with Ed Laudenschlager and Chuck Berry and January 28, with Tom Strickland and Bob Shover.
Here’s wishing everyone a blessed Christmas and hoping that you will take the time to enjoy the wonder of the season. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
