UPCOMING WOMEN'S CLUB EVENT

FEBRUARY 21ST - 6:30PM

PLEASE NOTE NEW STARTING TIME!


The Women's Club of Hackberry Creek invites you to a night of Soul Line Dancing. (Nope! Not Cowboy Line Dancing) Soul Line Dancing is choreographed dance moves you do in a group to Soul, R&B and Contemporary music. It's so fun and great exercise too. Dress comfortably in casual slacks and/or even your workout or yoga pants. And don't forgot your dancing shoes. 

 

401 Line Dancers of Coppell will be providing the lessons. Whether you're an experienced dancer or not, this event is for all levels. 401's style is patient and positive and their goal is to ensure you can do the moves and enjoy the process. Join the Women of Hackberry Creek for this special event. It will make you smile. Can something this fun really count as exercise? Looking forward to seeing you on the February 21st at the Club.

CITY DESIRES RESIDENT INPUT

City Planning A Website Redesign: Resident Input Crucial


The current City of Irving website turns nine years old this year, and the Communications Department is planning a website redesign to enhance communication and access to information for Irving residents. The redesign will update the overall user experience and functionality, as well as the look and feel of the website. Resident input is important to understanding how the new city website can best serve the community.


Take a few minutes to complete a brief online survey by visiting CityofIrving.org/Website . Survey responses will be accepted through March 5.
