ANOTHER SEASON!!!!!
Welcome Back!
We hope that you had an
enjoyable and pleasant summer as we “kick-off” another season of square
dancing. We will all miss Jim and Lois
Odum after 25 plus years as our cuers.
Hopefully they will drop by for a visit and coffee.
Tom Allen will be our
opening caller and with daughter Sarah as our cuer.
LESSONS
Try, Try again. Reports indicate that we may have up to
eleven people that are interested in lessons this fall, thanks in part to
members Glenn & Apryl
Hultstrand. We will have lessons on
Thursdays starting on September 20th
@ 7PM at Richfield Intermediate School, 70th & 12th
Avenue South. The first lesson is free.
Angels will be needed so please help out your club.
DUES
Club and Federation dues
should be paid at your earliest convenience so that we may finalize a club
roster. Club dues are $5.00 per person
with a free voucher to use anytime this dance season. Federation dues, payable at any Minnesota club, must be paid by
October 12th for insurance purposes.
ST. HELENA’S FESTIVAL – SEPTEMBER

Twenty four club members
and guests had a delicious breakfast bunch at the Best Western in Mankato on
Saturday, June 9th while attending the Minnesota State Square Dance Convention June 8 – 10.
On Tuesday August 14th
we had 29 club members and guests at our Annual
Club Pot Luck Picnic at Minnehaha Park Pavillion. Afterwards Chuck Spragg
conducted a short meeting on the club actives for the coming season including a
sign up sheet for kitchen duties.
On Saturday August 18th, over 20 members and friends were at John & Elaine Gorshe’s Lake Cabin in
Balsam Lake for a potluck picnic on a rainy day. John and Elaine provided the hamburgers, hot dogs, drinks and
great hostility to at least add sunshine to our visit. It was nice to see former club member Mary Dingman again.
