The Ice Cream Social that took place last Thursday was a huge success. Around 300 seniors came out of the woodwork to see what the R.A.C. had to offer and they didn't go away disapointed. (Not that anyone would complain about an evening that started off with free ice cream sundaes.)
G3, a band formerly referred to as the Gospel Guitar Guys, played for us again this year. Their mixture of two stepping country tunes and old time rock 'n' roll is just what was needed to set a mood of fun for the event.
Terry O'Niell, long time entertainer and singer, emceed the event and kept the program running smoothly. She introduced a variety of acts and shared a bit of her own humor with the crowd.
The sign language club started off the programs by signing the Pledge of Alliegence along with Lee Greenwood's music. The Hott Heels Tap Dance Troupe started their own Zoot Suit Riot. The line dance classes made everyone want to get out of their chairs and dance. This Silver Chords shared their harmonies and the Tai Chi/ Qi Gong class just made everyone say "wow."
As director of the Center, I was proud of everyone who came up on stage and participated. It takes a lot of courage to share what you're learning with strangers, and everyone did a great job with it!
