Our senior citizen trip this morning was amazing. All I can say is: What happens in Oxford stays in Oxford ( this includes the bus ride to and from Oxford). This group danced, sang, laughed a lot and talked, we were so excited to meet the other seniors from other locations and different states. It’s fun being able to experience life together. This is how we do it. Thank you city of Gadsden for supporting our senior citizens.

We had the best time at Gadsden Twirlers Anniversary Dance last night. Thanks to everyone for joining us and sharing our memories. We enjoyed the Absolute Best Calling from Jet Roberts and curer David Holladay. What a team. All our visitors from different clubs, and our Special visitor, Jesse Battles. We also had 6 members who started this club 13 years ago. Oh my gosh at the food we had. A big shout out and huge Thank You to everyone that helped make this dance a big success. Our own club caller, Ronnie Langley, joined Jet Robert’s on the final song to end the evening with perfect harmony and an incredible performance. If I left anyone out I do apologize.
