April’s dance with Spindrift Street was on the Easter weekend. Although many people who regularly attend were understandably busy with family we still had a good turnout and everyone had fun. Helmut baked and donated a beautiful cake for auction which was sold to Brent for $45 and he in turn shared it with everyone! Thanks to both of them . . . it was yummy. The 50/50 door prize was $65 for the winner and $65 to the Centre, the winner was Ron Meyer who generously donated his share back to the Centre. Thank you Ron! The door prizes for May’s dance were won by Karen and Mike Bell and also Andre, Columbia and Heather. They each have a ticket to next dance on May 17th.
Many thanks to all who came to help make the decorations, set up, tend bar, clean tables, give out snacks and help us to clean up afterwards.
By popular demand, The Steve Hinton Band will be coming on May 17th with Steve on vocals, Dave ‘Double D’ Dykhuizen on guitar, Sandy Bone on drums, Bruce Morrison on Bass, Dave Webb on key boards, and Jerry Cook on saxophone. They’ll be playing lots of great dance tunes as always. Get your tickets early as this dance will sell out and there are a limited amount of tickets.
