First dance of 2007 for Tri-State dancers

Hoping everyone had a great Christmas and are looking forward to joining the Tri-State dancers this

coming Friday (Jan. 5th) to attempt dancing off some of those pounds that seem to come so easily this time of the year. We'll again be at the Hayesville Senior Center on Ritter Road starting 7:30 p.m. and welcoming all of you. New attendees are always welcome, this is not any kind of a sign-up club function, just singles and couples getting together for a good time and to enjoy our large dance floor that the Hayesville Senior Center offers us the use of. The year 2006 has been great, we've had huge turnouts and a lot of new people who have returned at just about every dance. Our musician is Dave Bartens who provides live, pleasing rhythms and songs of many dance styles — for a donation of $5 per person, which includes refreshments, plenty of hors deourves and MORE sweets and you may even take home one of our door prizes. If more information is needed please call either Jeanne at (828) 389-3003 or Mary Lou at (828) 389-3581.
