ByHi, Square Dealers!
Bill and I (yes, of course, I am writing this newsletter) want you to know how excited we are to be taking the helm as presidents of our wonderful club! We look forward to working with Tom and Ann Ryan, Raiford Peacock, Elaine Vess, and Elisa Pate, and you, our members, to continue moving our club forward, in great squares, and dancing to terrific callers. Also a big shout-out goes to Marian Ley for volunteering to oversee Kitchen Duty Scheduling, and to Johnny and Linda DeBoard for being our Procurement Chairs. They will make sure we have plenty of plastic ware, plates, cups, napkins, etc.
We had a great time at our KSD Anniversary and Caller & Cuer Appreciation Dance Friday! Thank you to everyone who attended and made this dance special. We were also happy to see many of our members who have not been with us for awhile! I am positive that both Ray and Anne appreciated all the wonderful thank-you cards. Thank you members for supporting the most important people in our club!!!
An Update on Anne: She has an exploratory surgical procedure scheduled for July 2nd. KSD sent cards and flowers, but if you want to send her a card, her address is in the attached, current club roster.
We will be handing out flyers about our upcoming square dance lessons to the crowd at the City of Kennesaw's Salute to America on July 3rd. The program runs from 6:00 – 9:30. We hope that many of you will come out to support and participate in our club's recruiting efforts, and enjoy the wonderful program and fireworks that our city does for us. Please remember that the most important recruiting activity is how YOU find potential students and bring them to class! It all starts in September, so share our FB Fan Page far and wide! www.facebook.com/KSDClub.
We are looking for a few members to step up and chair or co-chair a few committees and events:
- Pigs and Peaches
- Decorations for Dances and Events
- Big Shanty Festival
Please let one of us know how you would like to support KSD!
We appreciate and applaud the efforts of our out-going officers. Thank you all so much for your dedication.
