Rhody O’s hosts ice cream social, introduction lesson
The Rhody O’s Square Dance Club is offering beginning square dance lessons starting at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 12, at the Gardiner Community Center. All are invited to a free ice cream social and introductory dance lesson. Lessons are held each Tuesday evening through the autumn and winter with graduation in late spring.
