Special Benefit Dance
Kris and Lynn Cole, along with DJ Mary Guerin, have offered regular social dances in the Upper Valley for more than a decade. Lynn recently underwent major surgery, and the dance community will be gathering at the 4th Saturday Dance in Hanover, NH on September 27, 2008 to show our support and extend our wishes for a complete and speedy recovery. Proceeds from the dance will be given to Kris and Lynn to help with expenses during his extended period of recuperation; if you are unable to attend the dance but would still like to contribute checks may be directed to:
UVDC, Cole Fund
c/o Miriam Durkee
Refreshments: Please contact Abbie at :awirth@sover.net if you would like to contribute to the refreshment table. . .
