Hancock Rec Center Turns 70!!

 AIFD's home since 1967 will celebrate its 70th anniversary on Saturday, September 24th, noon to 2pm. Details are still be worked out by HRC staff and may include a presentation by Mayor Steve Adler. Updates will be posted in next week's AIFD newsletter as well as on our website. Neither AIFD nor any other group that uses the facility will be involved in the celebration, but it should be a fun event if you want to swing by.
How do we know that AIFD started using HRC in 1967? Check out Austin International Folk Dancers - The Beginnings Of History.
