Dancing, the Country Kickers, refreshments and a raffle were all on the program at the Overton Senior Center New Year’s Eve Celebration.
DJ Danny Mendoza kept the evening lively with music from the 50’s, Country Western, waltzes and special Raffle Dances. Candle holders, an American Flag, cut glass sugar and creamer, hats, plates, frames, music box and books were available to lucky winners during the evening as raffle gifts.
As the evening’s revelers visited with friends, old and new, and enjoyed the light refreshments, the Country Kickers dancers entertained. These line dancer’s ranks keep growing. They welcome all who like to dance and have the added benefit of aerobic exercise at the same time.
The Overton Senior Center is offering a new Associate Member program beginning in 2015. For the nominal membership fee of $15.00 a year, residents younger than 55 years of age are able to join the Center and take advantage of the many programs they offer from line dancing to exercise programs to ceramics, quilting and for extra fun – a pool table. These Associate Members wouldn’t be able to vote at the meetings.
The lunches remain open to members and non-members alike for a suggested donation of $3.00 (over 60) and $4.50 (under 60). They are served Monday through Friday at noon.
There are also the extra programs of Meals on Wheels and a medical transportation service available.
