If you’re thinking of moving to Hansville because nothing ever happens here, you’d better rethink your reasoning. It’s true you don’t have to participate in activities at the Greater Hansville Community Center, but think of what fun it would be if you did.
On March 6 (and the first Wednesday of every month), the community center board meets at 7 p.m. The public is welcome to join in and hear plans for the future, participate in the discussions and have a cup of coffee with the people that work so hard to keep everything moving in the right direction.
On March 9, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., donations will be accepted at the community center for the annual Rummage Sale that is held in August. A committee of workers will happily take your selections and take them to the sorting room (a large outer building behind the community center).
On March 16, 5-8 p.m., a St. Patrick’s Day dinner will be served at the community center. Tickets are available at the Hansville Store and from any board member. Reservations can be made by calling event chairwoman Connie Gordon, 271-6166.
On March 20 at noon, the Neighbor Luncheon will be the place to be. Meet and greet your neighbors — and get to know those you haven’t met. A reservation is needed. Not only will you have a good lunch and good conversation in a happy atmosphere, there will be a speaker to entertain you (or maybe give you information you need to better your life.)
Toward the end of the month on March 26, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., everyone is invited to the community center’s Little Room (entrance on the side of the building) for a social hour (yes, I know this runs longer than an hour). During last month’s meeting and social hour, a group at one table played a card game, another group played Bunco, others just sat and chatted. Several Hansvillians wandered in to check out the library shelves and borrow some books and/or magazines, have a cup of coffee and a cookie, and visit.
Don’t forget that the neighborhoods have activities too. Look for them online at DriftwoodKey.com or Hansville.org. You’ll find a place to line dance, join artists for workshops, and find committees to join (like Hansville Ladies Aid or Garden Club). And don’t forget the Men’s Koffee Klatch, Monday through Saturday at 8 a.m., the Better Half’s Coffee Time Tuesdays at 10 a.m., and the Solitarians Coffee on Fridays at 10 a.m. All these coffee meetings are held in the Hansville Store.
I’ll see you around at a meeting, luncheon, dinner or coffee. OK?
