Hello, Country Lovers!
NOV / DEC 2009
Volume 4, Issue 6
By Francine Mackey
WOW!!!!!! Where has the time gone? Here we are
nearing the end of another year and getting ready for
the upcoming Holiday‘s.
I remember, at the start of the year, thinking ―What
have I gotten myself into?‖ and I am still pondering
that question. As we prepare to end the year, I want
to thank everyone who—just by coming to our functions has kept this club going. Without your support
Who’s In the Saddle:

Francine Mackey
Vice President
Becky Blanchet
Treasurer
Carol Rogers (temp)
our club would not exist. I want to thank Marshall and Teresa for coming every
Tuesday to spin the tunes that we dance to; the instructors, Jim, Angela, Sue,
Jesse, Sue Ellen & Deanna, for giving of their time and patience as they teach
us new dances; Tricia for putting together our newsletter; George for taking
our pictures and putting together our albums and Betty for keeping our Country Store. Also, I want to thank the members for the Board of Directors, Terry,
Mike, Jesse, Mely, Carol (who stepped up to the plate when we lost our Treasurer) & especially Becky, without her friendship and hard work, this job would
have been a lot harder.

A note from the
Vice—President:
I am looking for some volunteers to Trail Boss our upcoming
Dances for 2010. I would like to
hear any suggestions fro some new
Dance Themes. I am looking for
some ‗New Ideas‘! So, if anyone
could help me with this…
PLEASE… let me know! Thank you
very much to all those who have
helped me set up some of the past
dances, it was really appreciated.
Thx again…
Becky
