SAFFORD — With area schools not in session on Fridays, the GFWC Woman’s Club of Safford decided to move a Valentine’s tradition up one day.
The Woman’s Club hosted its 18th Valentine’s Dance for those with special needs Thursday at The Venue on Main.
About 60 K-12 students attended the dance in the morning, with the afternoon seeing about half that number of adults served by Blake Foundation and Great Communities Resource Center (GCRC).
“Andy (Richardson, a volunteer from Rotary Club) . . . he comes and I think he just doubles us up. Everybody wants to dance with Andy,” said Woman’s Club organizer Donna McGaughey.
Each participant was presented with a free gift of a stuffed toy, a special photo, light snacks and plenty of dancing.
