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. 

The Bluffton Public Library Board of Trustees will hold its regular meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 22, via video conferencing.  To request an invitation for the meeting, please contact Jessica Hermiller, Director at [email protected].
