In November, club members delivered six vehicles full of clothing donated by SCOV residents to the Veterans Rescue Mission.

If you have an unserviceable U.S. flag, leave it by Mike LaBarbera’s front door wrapped inconspicuously.

Over $18,000 was generated from brick sales from the Legacy Walkway to share between SCOV clubs, Veterans and the SCOV Association. Orders for Phase 2 of the Legacy Walkway are currently being accepted at the Welcome Center. Email Mike LaBarbera at mclabarb@aol.com for a Legacy Brick order form.

Our club danced for the Havurah Club’s December meeting

Folk dancing is a wonderful way to exercise both your body and mind while socializing in the company of a warm and welcoming group. We encourage everyone who is fully vaccinated to join us, no experience, no partners required. We review each dance prior to dancing. Keep in mind that the only mistake you can make is to not have fun. Bonus: no meetings, no minutes, no dues–just dance, dance, dance. There is even a club website which lists each week’s dances along with a video link to each dance for those who like to watch or review dances at home.

Please give it a try. Questions? Come and see; check out the website or call Raven.
