LETTER FROM OUR PRESIDENT Hello Spa City Dancers, What a great summer and fall our club has had and as we move into the winter months, there are bigger and better things planned for our club. We are continuing to grow in numbers and are hearing so many compliments about our dance club, thanks to you, our members. Without your participation and involvement, our club would not be what it is today. What a great Members Only Dinner/Dance we just experienced. The food was excellent, the attendance was great, and the Silent Auction was a big hit!!! Thanks to all who helped make this annual event a memorable one. Special thanks to Pat Smith our Activities Director and those who helped decorate, and to Linda Sluppick and Carol Williams for organizing the Silent Auction and seeing that it all went smoothly. Election of our officers for the coming year will be held soon, so make sure you are present to cast your vote for the officers of your choice. Always remember, the board is here to serve you and we would like to hear your suggestions and recommendations you may have for our club. Winter may not be a favorite time of the year for you, but just know that your dance club is always here to help us through those cold, dreary days, with dancing, socializing and fun for all. Check out our dance calendar for the upcoming events, and make your plans to attend regularly. Don’t forget to invite your friends and neighbors so they can join in our fun.
