Friday, May 19: HRC closed. Potluck at Stephanie's House!!!
Hancock Rec Center will be closed for maintenance. Join us instead at Stephanie Anderson's house for a potluck. Stephanie says: "My place isn’t huge, but people seem to be able to dance in small spaces, and if nothing else, it’ll be a wonderful opportunity to just hang out and talk! I also have a back porch and yard." More details forthcoming.
