Greetings one and all!  Groundhog day has come and gone (fortunately 
not repeatedly).  Unfortunately, Phil saw his shadow, so six more

warm up by dancing!


This month, Kumquat Kapers will be playing the tunes, and
Charlie Dyer will be calling.

The Details:

Date:  Sat. Feb. 7, 2009
Time:   8:00 PM, with instruction starting at 7:30
Place:  Cocoa Beach Rec. Center - 321 Ramp Road
Dance Cost:  Adults $8  Children under 17 $5

So bring a friend and your dancing shoes (non-marking please) and
join us.  Cool comfortable clothes are encouraged.  The event is
alcohol and smoke free.  If you feel inclined, please bring a snack
to share for our "pot luck" snacks during the break.
