Posted by Fred Steiner on June 9, 2021 - 4:35pm

The Theme for the Chamber of Commerce Discovery Day in June is music.

In keeping with that theme, the Senior Center has dedicated its window display to its Golden Swingers Band.  

The band performed from 1979 to 2006. It was Vera Core’s idea to form a band and she served as the first director. Other directors included Carol Lytle, Betty Hitchcock and Bertie Swank. 

Practices were held every Tuesday and there were times when the band had three engagements in one day. All told, they completed over 1,000 programs.
