TV Dance Notes
r
Needing a break from the Olympics, I flipped on the TV one
Sunday in August and caught a program on KSTP called,
Swinging Down Memory Lane with Tony Sandler &
Friends. lt was actually done in March of 1995, as a pilot for a
hoped-for regular program. Featured for a few dances were
local pros, Tracy Heinze & Dave Murphy, and Meghan
Guernsey & Brian Sostek, from the Dancers Studio.
r
.?o
Some of you may know that I work for KARE-I 1 as a freelance co-anchor/meteorologist. On Saturday, September 1 4th
f 'll be doing the KARE-I 1 Saturday show (7-10am) and the
producer has given me the go-ahead to produce a 5-8 minute
segment on ballroom dancing-- in advance ol National
Ballroom Dance Week. While details as of this writing aren't
f irm, expect to see several of our local talent in action. lt's
great publicity, as that show draws between 1/3 and 112 million
viewers!
VtrRN' SPECTAL SALF,
More Dance Notes
r
USABDA ls looking for a home. Most clubs or organizations
have a place that they can call home, and we'd like to find a
spot that's either shared or uniquely our own. ldeas, anyone?
Talk to any of the officers or board members.
r
We're also looking for an editor. My term expires at year's
end and due to other commitments I won't be pursuing a
second term. lf you've got a f lair for writing and organization
and want to immerse yourself in USABDA, talk to me. lt's been
a great way to get to know a lot of people!

Membership Update
Okay, so you're a little confused about your USABDA
membership. We'll try to clarify it for you. When you join
USABDA, you're joining the National organization, which also
gives you a local affiliation. This means that, as a member,
you're entitled to discounts on any events that we offer them.
Now, we don't have an option lor a local-only membership.
You're either a national/local member or you're not.
Actual
Ske
Everyone has the option to purchase a subscription to this
newsletter for the $15 rate. lf you're strictly a subscriber,
discounts at dances do not apply"
And, by the way, our monthly dances offer lessons at an
additional $2 charge for both members and non-members
alike. Considering most group classes are $1 0-15, we think
this is a bargain!

Cruisin'with YMCA & USABDA
Northtown YMCA celebrated its Grand Opening on Saturday,
July 27, by hosting a "Cruise Ship P"tty," and invited USABDA
on board! USABDA enteftained the 200+ crowd while they
toured the new facility and danced just if they were on a
cruise. The site was decked out with the best in nautical
regalia and because there was no official emcee, it was like
attending a mini-USABDA dance. Hats off to the following for
participating: Karen Kettler (for organizing and introducing our
group), Carol & Gary Stroick, Lisa Hamilton & John
Woodcock, Donna Buchholtz & Wally Wifsey, Rita Stoner,
Mary Jean Lundeen & Jim Aubrecht, Noel Blair & C.R.
Barragan, and Bonita Bartholomew & Mark Vollmer, as
well as Joyce Thompson & Pete Maki for providing tunes for
all. Thanks also to Wade Wadord in his efforts to contact
potential dancers. YMCA donated $250; many thanks to Vicki
Koepplin and YMCA for this generous contribution and
allowing us to partake in the festivities!
