Dancing Lifts the Spirits
Lots to think about these days, with spring sprung and summer on its way. For those of you who were at the Latin Night dance and heard my announcement about price change, I did make a mistake in the price for non members. To cover our costs for the hall and our DJ we need to
increase prices. Members will pay $6 and non members will pay $9. The new prices will begin on June 1, 2010. Students who are taking dance lessons from a dance instructor will pay the same as members, $6 for as long as they are taking instruction. Dance teachers will have the discount coupons to give to their students.
We will be sending our Newsletter via email to as many members as possible. (The Newsletter is also available on line at http://www.socdancer.org if you need it.) If you are a member of Spirit of Citrus (i.e. pay dues to USA Dance) and do not have an email address, we will continue to make your newsletter available in printed form. At first we will bring the newsletter to our first dance for that newsletter time period. Those of you who come to dance will get it there (saving us money on postage!). Those of you who do not come to dance will still have yours mailed to you. I realize not everyone uses email, or has a printer.
The board for Spirit of Citrus voted on creating an outreach program. One of the things we can do for our community, which costs nothing but gives back, is to organize groups to visit assisted living homes and nursing homes to do some dances for them. We are not talking about "exhibition" type dances, just four or five couples dancing for an hour to "older" music which would please the residents of these homes. Charles Cook volunteered to head this committee, so if he calls you or asks you to come and dance for one of our assisted living or nursing homes, I hope you will consider saying "yes" and show your Citrus Spirit. Many of us have done this with June in the past, but she is not able to take on that responsibility, so we are stepping up.
Looking forward to seeing you at dance and hearing how things are going for you.
