CEDAR MOUNTAIN NEWS 7-7-16

CEDAR MTN. COMMUNITY CENTER

Board meeting 4pm Thursday July 7th at the center.

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.
