COMMUNITY CENTER MEETING - TALENT NEEDED Join your neighbors at the Cedar Mountain Community Center on Monday July 11th for the annual "Talent Show". Bring a covered-dish to share by 6:15pm as we eat at 6:30. The great cooks we have here in Cedar Mountain are a talent all their own.
If you want to "perform" at the community program on Monday please let Christine Pace know by calling her at (828)885-2103 or email her at chris_p_artist@yahoo.com It will be a great night. One new talent will be Nancy Cadora, who will tell a story about her mother, Dixie Lane. This will be Nancy's debut in story telling. Nancy and her husband Allen recently moved to Cedar Mountain permanently, from Atlanta, Ga. I (Christine) saw Nancy at the Jones' Family reunion Saturday and she says she is excited. While sitting outdoors talking, a friend came and asked Nancy to take a dip in the nearby lake, to which Nancy replied "I would, but my swimsuit has a hole in the knee". That's Nancy; come meet her Monday.

AROUND THE HOUSE
I have family visiting from Florida (they have a place in Lake Lure). We went to see the fireworks and we are going tubing on the Davidson River this week. I have a great niece and nephew who will just love this. I’m going to attempt to go too if I can manage to get myself into a tube (and my swim suit). Ha. More on that next week.
What’s happening with you or in the community? We’d love to hear about it if you would like to share. All news for next week must be received by Monday evening in order to be published in the Thursday edition of the Transylvania Times
