Smyrna’s Snow Ball waltzes in New Year’s Eve

 

The Second Annual Snow Ball sponsored by the Smyrna Rotary to benefit the Sam Davis Memorial Association will take place December 31 from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. New Year’s Day at the Smyrna Town Centre at 100 Sam Ridley Parkway East in Smyrna.

 

The tickets are $50 a person and include cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, live music by “Stoopid Kool” in one ballroom and a DJ in the second ballroom. The National Dance Clubs of Murfreesboro is offering a free dance session prior to the event and will hold a group dance lesson at 7 p.m. the night of the ball. A “Rides Home” service is also available.

 

“Photography by Guthrie,” a professional photographer, will offer his services on site.

 

Tickets are available at Gil’s Ace Hardware in Smyrna, at the Sam Davis Home, at FirstBank in Smyrna, and at National Dance Clubs in Murfreesboro. For more information, call (615) 785-0282 or visit www.smyrnasnowball.com or www.facebook.com/smyrnasnowball.

 

Last year, the Smyrna Rotary’s Snow Ball raised more than $5000 for the Sam Davis Memorial Association and was attended by more than 200 persons. Building on the previous year’s success, event organizers this year hope to attract 600 persons.

 

Event organizer Eric Brown said “Last year’s event was quickly organized after Rotary members noted popular demand in the area for a fun, safe, social New Year’s event that adults young and old could enjoy together. Everybody had such a wonderful time that we planned this year for a live band and a DJ to take advantage of both large ballrooms in the Smyrna Town Center. Dancing the night away with friends – what better way is there to support the Sam Davis Home and have a little good clean fun?”

 

The Sam Davis Memorial Association preserves the Sam Davis Home to keep alive the story of Sam Davis, his family, and the people who labored on this Middle Tennessee farm before, during and after the Civil War. Through museum exhibits, the historic home, preserved farm land, and quality education programs, the SDMA imparts to its visitors the importance of learning about their past and its relevance to their present.

 

In addition to the Snow Ball’s donation to the Sam Davis Memorial Association, local charitable organizations that benefit from the Smyrna Rotary Club include the Boys & Girls Club of Rutherford County, with clubs in Smyrna, Shelbyville and Murfreesboro; the Mid-Cumberland Meals on Wheels in Smyrna; the Rutherford County Habitat for Humanity; Smyrna West Elementary School, the Smyrna Senior Citizens Center and other local organizations.

 

The Smyrna Rotary Club is an affiliated organization of Rotary International, with more than 1.2 million neighbors, friends, and community leaders, who come together to create positive, lasting change in their communities and around the world.

 

Rotary International started with the vision of one man—Paul P. Harris. The Chicago attorney formed one of the world’s first service organizations, the Rotary Club of Chicago, on 23 February 1905 as a place where professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas and form meaningful, lifelong friendships. Rotary’s name came from the group’s early practice of rotating meetings among the offices of each member.

 

Rotarians have not only been present for major events in history—they’ve been a part of them. From the beginning, three key traits have remained strong throughout Rotary: it is truly international, it has persevered through tough times to include World War II (despite the risks), and their commitment to service is ongoing and successful. Rotarians began their signature fight against Polio in 1979 with a project to immunize 6 million children in the Philippines. By 2013, only three countries in the world remain Polio-endemic.
