Our next dance will be Sept. 23, 2022 with Scott Zinser calling and Jackie Gale cueing. Jim Hattrick, who is our club caller, fell and broke his hip in August and is recuperating at this point. Jim's health is precarious so we know it will take him some time to get back on his feet despite his indomitable will power. We sure hope he'll be able to call our Halloween dance in October, but mostly we just want him to be well. Meanwhile we know Scott will do a super fine job of calling for us later this month.
In August we had K.C. Curtis call the last dance of the 2021-22 season. He did a fine job and we always appreciate his fine baritone voice and good humor. We had two squares dancing most of the night which seems to be the norm these days. Where have all the dancers gone? Sad to see so few out having fun like we used to have all the time.
We are hopeful that there will be a good mainstream class this fall and that all the clubs will benefit by having new dancers join the clubs and dance at our dances. We have some diligent people out there recruiting for the class which will begin on Oct. 4 from 7 to 8:30 for mainstream and 8:0 to 10:00 for plus with Roger Putzler calling and teaching. We know Roger will make it lots of fun. If you know of someone wanting to take square dance lessons, send them out Oct. 4 to 2095 Yolanda in Springfield. They are guaranteed a good time.
