A
Message from Dawn and Reid
We would
like to say thank you to all the officers who have supported
us over the last two years and to all the club members who
have been so willing to do whatever they can to keep our
club active. Without their support our club would not be
here today.
Waubonsee Special
Once
again our Waubonsee Special dance on April 19th
was great fun. Tony Oxendine entertained our square
dancers after a dramatic race to get to the dance on time
(his plane was delayed) and Angie Huckeby ably cued our
round dancers. Thirty-three Sugar Squares members and
students welcomed 135 guests to the Waubonsee Special.
There were at least 16 squares on the floor. Refreshments
were bountiful and delicious. Thank you to everyone who
helped make this dance a success.
Banner Report
Sugar
Squares dancers visited 18 clubs this year and stole 7
banners and 1 crying towel. We also retrieved 7 banners
from other clubs. A special thanks to Cele and Jerry Bahl
and Earleen and Rodger Haga for coordinating the banner
attempts this year.
Student Graduation
Graduation for this year’s student dancers was held Sunday
April 27, at the Kaneville Community Center. Bob Asp called
the dance and certificates were awarded to Kaye and Nick
Bruscato and Laurie and Kevin Geary. Please be sure to
welcome them to our club.
Membership Meeting
There
will be a meeting after the May dance to elect officers for
next year. At this time, no one has volunteered to serve as
president for next year. This position is vital and needs
to be filled if the club is to continue. The Banner
Co-chair position is also available. Cele and Jerry Bahl
will be co-chairs if someone will agree to do the e-mail
part of the job. Please consider serving as next year’s
president or banner co-chair. The current slate of officers
appears below:
