FROM THE PRESIDENTS
Wow, the holidays are just around the corner. This year has just flown bye. As
of this writing, Halloween is fast approaching (and will probably have come
and gone by the time you read this). Hope you get a lot of cute little goblins on
your door step!!!
Jim was back in the hospital recently and now has a pace maker. He's home
recuperating now and will return as soon as his strength returns. Be sure to let
him know we're thinking of him and wish him a speedy recovery.

The Board met recently to discus some of the concerns about how much floor
time each of our groups of dancers have available on a typical workshop
evening. We want to ensure that everyone is enjoying themselves and getting
what it is they want out of their dancing. To that end, George and Jack have
volunteered to work with Jim to review the current workshop format and
make suggestions that will enhance the dance experience for everyone.
After talking with several members, Jim has decided the additional plus
workshop will not take place until sometime after the first of the year. In the
meantime, he will continue working with those members working on plus level
during our Monday night workshops.
Don't forget our Wild West dance coming up on November 17th. It's always a
great event with visitors coming from most of the local clubs to see if they can
go home with a turkey. It should be a lot of fun.
Thank you to each of our members that contributed recently to the
thanksgiving baskets for the Interfaith Food Bank. Thanks to your generosity,
at least four families will enjoy a much nicer Thanksgiving.
See you on the dance floor,
Guy and Fran

Twain Harte Twirlers celebrated their 44th Anniversary Dance on October 13th. Have you ever danced to Andy
Allemao? WOW! what energy he has and is so fun to dance to. Below are two squares doing “Hot Hash”
with him, including George & Mary and Ed & Sharon. We also were able to bring home our banner.!
At least half of the Jackson Claim Jumpers dressed up for our Halloween Party Night. It was a
hoot watching Ed Conley dance as a girl in his cute little square dance outfit. …
Nice legs Ed!
