Hebbertsburg CC thanks patrons
The Hebbertsburg Community Center say a huge “THANK YOU!” to everyone who has made this 2017 Dinner/Dance’s Season such a great success. It’s been he best yet!
We can’t say enough good things about The City Lites Band (Marty Gibson, Flavie Miller, Wade England and Glen Holverson) who played and sang for us every month from April through September, somehow getting ‘gooder and gooder’ each month. The same is true for our very own ‘Sweet T’s Dancers’, who danced their way into our hearts with professional grade performances.
We received so many compliments on our meals…”delicious, great potions, reasonable prices”…that we lost count.
And, all our workers, from grounds maintenance to cooks to set-up and clean-up crews to security and keeper-of-the-change box…all volunteers. Thanks you! A special thanks also to all the cake makers who shared their talents with us throughout the season.
Most of all, a big Thank You to each one of you who shared your Saturday nights with us, dancing, eating, visiting with old friends and making new ones, enjoying the food and fellowship and music. Your participation provides the funds for maintaining the Hebbertsburg Community Center and it is greatly appreciated.
We’re already deep in plans for the 2018 season, incorporating some suggestions we’ve received from you. Be watching this newspaper for more details after the first of the year.

Volunteers needed
Have you always done your own taxes? Are you looking for a way to give back to your community?
Would you enjoy working with a great group of people who work at the six AARP Tax-Aide sites in our district to provide free tax services to our community.
In recent years, the Affordable Care Act has added to the complexity of completing even basic tax returns for working people and Congress has done nothing to make things any easier.
Last year, our team of AARP Tax-Aide volunteers completed over 2500 returns, federal and state, and assisted many more people to determine their need to file.
Training classes are held in January to review current tax laws and explain the computer software used to prepare the returns. New volunteers have experienced counselors as training partners and can begin their tax preparation work with basic returns. Additionally, every return is reviewed by a second counselor before it is e-filed.
You can go to the AARP website and click on ‘Volunteer’ to sign up for more information to be sent to you or you can call our district coordinator, Robert Ellis, at 931-484-2064.
