With the first social dance of the season upon us I would like to inform you of a few changes to the way beverages, water and pop, will be sold.

When you turn in your social ticket at the entrance you will be asked if you wish to purchase a beverage this evening. Instead of a ticket, as in the past, you will purchase a drink cup at the cost of $2.00. This drink cup is yours for the evening and enables you to drink as much water and/or pop as you wish, ie: bottomless beverages. At the time of purchase, you should mark your drink cup with a marker so that you can identify it as yours. To get pop you will go to the bar where the varieties will be served from 2L bottles. Ice will be available as usual. The idea behind this change is to reduce the number of pop containers used during the evening and therefore have fewer items in the recycle box.

The water, reverse osmosis, will be provided in a large blue jug placed onto a dispensing rack. You would take your drink cup to the water jug and fill your own glass. Once again the idea is to stop using the small plastic water bottles and reduce the amount that is thrown away or recycled.

The chart that follows is an updated version of the gym floor sweeping schedule. Please destroy the previous schedule.

Dear Club Member,

Here are a couple of items that I would like to bring to your attention.

The first item is the Club manual for this dance year. It is sent to you as an attachment in pdf format. This format can be read using Adobe Reader. Many computers come with this program installed. If you know that you have it, double click on the manual title and it will open. You may have to resize it but clicking on the blue – button at the top of the frame. If you do not have Adobe Reader you can download it for free at the following address. get.adobe.com/reader/

If that does not work I could send you the manual in Word format. Please let me know.

The second item deals with dance workshops.

Once again this year we are going to offer dance workshops. Listed below are the workshops for this dance year.

Workshops:

Thursdays – November 3, 10, 17, 24 – Viennese Waltz – Robert Browning School – 9:00 to 9:50 p.m.

Mondays – January 23, 30, February 6, 13 – West Coast Swing– Robert Browning School – 9:00 to 9:50 p.m.

Thursdays – February 23, March 1, 8, 15, 22 – Hustle (continued from last year) – Robert Browning School – 9:00 to 9:50 p.m.

The Viennese waltz and West coast Swing workshops will be four sessions in length, cost $20.00 per couple and will have a maximum enrollment of 12 couples. The Hustle workshop will be five sessions, cost $25.00 per couple and have a maximum enrollment of 12 couples. Each work shop must have at least 7 couples enrolled for the work shop to be held.

No previous experience is required for the West Coast Swing. The Hustle workshop will continue on from last year. Therefore this is for the members who did the workshop last year. For the Viennese Waltz a minimum of two years of dance experience is required but no previous Viennese experience is needed.
