'Jigs for Jude' fund raiser set for tonight at high school

Warwick - Lori McGovern, a senior at Warwick High School and a competitive Irish dancer ranked in both the United States and in Ireland, is hosting a “Jigs for Jude” fund raiser from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday, April 15, at the new WarwickValley High School gymnasium. A $5 donation per person will be collected at the door. All proceeds will go to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. The night will consist of a small performance of Irish Dance and the opportunity for the audience to participate and learn a ceili, (pronounced kay-lee) which is a group dance. McGovern recommends that if you want to participate, wear loose clothes you can move in and athletic footwear with support. McGovern leaves the following morning for Dublin, Ireland to compete in the World Championships of Irish Dance.
