NEW DANCE LOCATION
Beginning with our first dance in November 2005, we will be danceing in a new location - the McMinnville Grange Hall, 1721 Old Sheridan Road. The club danced at this location for many years before going to the Senior Center - so we're going back home - kind of!
From downtown McMinnville, take 99W South. Turn right onto Old Sheridan Road. Go ¼ mile to a left turn lane. Turn left to stay on Old Sheridan Road. The Grange is just a bit down the road on the left. Plenty of parking! How exciting to have such a nice location for our dances.
We want to help the Grange make improvements. The hat was passed at the business meeting and the money collected will enable us to spread new gravel in the parking lot and go toward a new light in the parking area. Anyone who did not get an opportunity to contribute and would like to, please see Dolores. We have more plans for the future to make our ’new home’ a place to be proud of. We are also looking for the donation of a working refrigerator.
New: Family rate at the dances..$10 This should be a big help to any families out there with children.
