We had two fun dances lately, the first on the 4th Friday in April with Darrell Kalmbach, guest calling and Jackie Gale cueing. We all really enjoyed Darrell's fine calling and appreciated his subbing in for Jim Hattrick. A good time was had by all. The second dance was hosted in conjunction with our sister club, the Whirl-A-Ways, on their regular 2nd Saturday night dance night May 13. It was the annual Fiesta Dance with taco bar preceding the dance. Mike Kious called and Christina Corelli cued. Mike and Camille announced the coming birth of their son in August. While we did not have a big turnout of dance members or visitors, we all had a great time visiting with one another, enjoying the taco bar and dancing to Mike's fun calling. We look forward to doing this again next year.
In early May, we were all saddened when we learned that Jim Hattrick had passed away after his long illness. He will be sorely missed by all the dancers who enjoyed his calling over the years. He was not only a fantastic caller but was quite a super good cuer and choreographer as well. Rest in Peace, Jim.
We will continue having guest callers and also will continue with guest callers in the next dance year starting in September.
Our new club president is Joy Pitts who assumed office in April along with her sister Melba Walker who will be vice president and her right hand person. We wish them a good year at the helm of our club, helping make our dances a fun place to dance.
Our next dance will be a Crazy T- Shirt Dance June 23rd. We do not know who the caller will be at this time, but Jackie Gale will be cueing. Find your zaniest t-shirt and come join us1
Keep on dancing,
