You missed a great party if you didn’t get to the New Year’s Eve fest at the Community Center. Everyone seemed to be in a party mood ready to sing, dance, eat and eat some more. The young people who served and took care of us seniors were more than gracious. Lorenzo Williams put on a good show with his tutu and dancing with the ladies, bowing, dipping and just showing us old girls a great time. Lorenzo’s special dancing partner was Alice Rose. Lorenzo is a student at Triton right now so we don’t know if he has plans for professional dancing in his future.
Doing the waiting and serving were Karen Dylewski, Brenda Powers, Bridget Dowdle, Diana Dylewski, Jessica Dylewski, Meghan Dowdle, Nikki Petrey, Saran Kane, Alexa Stisevic, Kendrick Jones, Zack Shorner, Dylan Ryan, Brian Powers, Clara Malone, Rich Barger, Matt Dowdle, Steve Knysch. A big loud “Thank You!” from everyone.
Terry Meffley, a year-round hard worker at the center, is seen talking with her friend Annette Johnson.
