Other celebrities in attendance were SDM Vice Chair Don Hanson and SDM Education Director Bob Meyer. We had 5 squares from 11 clubs in attendance. Lessons continue to go well with lots of laughs, as several of our women are learning the man’s part. Our students are a great group and are having as much fun as we are.
