Always A Smile And A Hug
It is with great sadness that Leon passed away on February 2024. He will be sorely missed.
We met them at the Elks back in 2008 and just hit it off. Were they a little goofy, yep but we like goofy!
Leon and Marcia are the group coordinators for most of our dances. They do a lot of work to find out who is playing and which lodge and then notify the group. On ticketed events, he makes sure we have a place for everyone! The following are a few of the many snapshots we have on this website!
