Ballroom Dancing Lessons
April 11, 18, 25, May 2, 9 at 5:30 PM
(Sorry for the date change – Instructor had a baby and needs a little more
time to recover.)
(If there is a lot of interest, we will continue these lessons through 2015.)
Have you ever been at a wedding and wished you could get
up and dance or hear about other people who are learning
how to dance and how much fun they're having? Well this is
your chance to allow dancing to come into your life. Jessica
DeOrio is a certified ballroom dance instructor. She has been
making nondancers into dancers for over 12 years. You do not
need to have any dance background to come and enjoy this
beginner ballroom class. She will start you from the very
beginning, introducing some of the most popular social
dances to you in this 5-week course. She does recommend
having a partner but if you do not you can still participate in
this class. Some dances that may be introduced are the Fox
Trot, Waltz, Hustle, Swing, Rumba, and Cha Cha. All you need
to bring is yourself. Again there is no need for any dance
background to learn how to partner dance. We recommend
you wear some sort of shoe you would typically wear to a
wedding or an event that would have dancing. No tennis
shoes. Women do not need to wear heals just something they
can move their foot around in comfortably. We hope to see
you at these exciting classes!
Don’t forget to mark your calendar!

Tradition of Valentine’s Cards
Over the centuries, the holiday evolved, and by the 18th century, giftgiving and exchanging hand-made cards on Valentine's Day had become
common in England. Hand-made valentine cards made of lace, ribbons,
and featuring cupids and hearts eventually spread to the American
colonies. The tradition of Valentine's cards did not become widespread in
the United States, however, until the 1850s, when Esther A. Howland, a
Mount Holyoke graduate and native of Worcester, Mass., began massproducing them. Today, of course, the holiday has become a booming
commercial success. According to the Greeting Card Association, 25%
of all cards sent each year are valentines.
Penns Woods Residents:
My family and I moved into Penns Woods the summer of 1993. We
immediately joined the Civic Association. We raised three children on
Niagara Drive. Our kids really enjoyed all the activities that the
Association sponsored (Halloween parties, Christmas parties, Easter
egg hunts, were just some of them).
Penns Woods Civic Association has a 4th of July Fireworks display every
year that is very costly. The neighborhood has so many July 4 th
parties. Penns Woods Fireworks have become well known in the area.
My wife and I were very disappointed about the Social being cancelled
because of lack of interest (only thirty-some people signed up). That
wasn’t the only time that an event had to be cancelled. Years ago we
would attend the Social and it was hard to find a seat. I talk to people
and tell them all that Penns Woods Civic Association does for their
members and they can’t believe it and wish they had an organization
like that in their neighborhood.
Our best and closest friends we associate with are people we got to
know through the Penns Woods Civic Association. Sometimes in life
you don’t really appreciate something until it’s gone.
I am not a board member of the Penns Woods Civic Association, just a
member. I felt compelled to write this letter in hope that the
residents of Penns Woods would try to get more involved in the
activities and become members of this great organization.
Sincerely,
Mike Nicholas

Buffalo Chicken Cresent Ring
4 oz cream cheese (half of 8-oz package), softened
¼ cup hot sauce or red pepper sauce
2 ½ cups chopped cooked chicken (1/2-inch pieces)
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (4 oz)
2 cans (8 oz each) Pillsbury™ refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
Heat oven to 375°F. In small bowl, mix cream cheese and
hot sauce until smooth. Mix in chicken and shredded cheese
just until combined.
Unroll both cans of dough; separate into 8 triangles. On
ungreased large cookie sheet, arrange triangles in ring so
short sides of triangles form a 5-inch circle in center. (Dough
will overlap; half of each triangle will hang over edges of
cookie sheet. Dough ring should look like a sun.)
Spoon cream cheese mixture on the half of each triangle
closest to center of ring. Top with blue cheese crumbles.
Bring each dough triangle hanging over side of pan up over
filling, tucking dough under bottom layer of dough to secure
it. Repeat around ring until entire filling is enclosed (some
filling might show a little).
Gently separate dough perforations on top until filling peeks
through. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until dough is golden
brown and thoroughly baked. Cool 5 to 10 minutes before
cutting into serving slices.
