The North West Region once again hosted a very successful North West Region Square Dance for Heart as a benefit for the American Heart Association.  The benefit, held on March 22, 2015, raised $2,735.  The suggested gate fee of $5.00 per dancer, sale of dangles, silent auction, snack table donations, donations from other organization, especially the IOOF of Detroit Lakes, MN and the dinner at Pappy’s Café after the dance raised the funds.  A HUGE thank you to the Region officers:  Charley and Wanda Huhtala, Region Presidents and emcee; Duane Olson, Secretary and main organizer; Larry Andresen, Vice President and clean-up.  A special thank you to Sherri and Tom Jones for attending the benefit.  Tom is the North Dakota/Minnesota representative for the American Heart Association.

The North West Region is a stand-alone organization whose purpose is to promote square dancing and to continue the events and projects started by the former NW Region.

SAVE THE DATE:  The first Sunday in April 2016 for the next North West Region Square Dance for Heart benefit – Waubun, MN at 2:00 pm.

Callers and Cuers!
