Teacher Elisa and her three helpers visited a neighborhood Montessori Discovery School. We all had fun with the kids, ranging from 2 1/2 to kindergarten age, and their teachers.
Elisa read a St. Patrick’s Day Parade story and then we all did some circle dance moves ending with “thread the needle”.

Tierra Rose Senior Living Community
CVS was thrilled to do a demo for these senior citizens. One of our member’s mother resides here and we did a waltz to Finnish music. As you can see, her mother loves hats. It was great fun and we were so privileged to have this opportunity.

A New Year’s First! The Ceili of the Valley Society was thrilled when Kevin Burke, dubbed “one of the greatest Celtic fiddlers alive” by New York Times, decided to play a concert/Ceili at our humble VFW Hall. Kevin was accompanied by Johnny Connolly, button accordionist, born and raised in Dublin, Ireland. The air was filled with good stories, lively music, and a record turnout audience. Numerous hard core people stayed for the Ceili. Our very own CVS member Brad Johnson (guitar) joined Kevin and Johnny for the Ceili.
