March 5, 2015 – Many thanks to the callers who have made themselves available while our regular caller Dick Rueter has been working in the warmer climate of Mesa, Arizona and most recently been laid up following surgery.\u00a0 These callers have been available to join us for the 12-week \u201cSharpen Up Your Mainstream Skills\u201d review class which preceded our regular Wednesday night dances.<\/p>\n
Thanks to Larry Fruetel, Mike Driscoll, and Wayne Kubicek who not only took dancers through a great review for an hour, and answered questions, but did a marvelous job during the dance as well!\u00a0 We will continue this month with this review class and keep encouraging the new dancers to join us.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s going to happen after that, for the hour before the regular Wednesday dance you ask?\u00a0 Ray Belanger has agreed to revive the fine art of Line Dancing starting Wednesday, April 1 from 7:00 \u2013 8:00 prior to the weekly mainstream dance. \u00a0He is gearing up for the opportunity and adventure of introducing new dancers as well as current line dancers to this form of individualized dancing.\u00a0 The cost will remain the same: FREE with regular admission of $6.00 or\u2026 $2.00 for the line dance class. (Look for the flyer in this website\u2026)<\/p>\n
Many thanks to Mary and Ken Egan, our royalty, for organizing the banner raids during the cold winter months and doing so with great enthusiasm!\u00a0 We appreciate everyone\u2019s efforts and travel, as the club has brought back our banners! \u00a0New royalty elections will be coming soon for the members of Spares and Pairs.<\/p>\n
Some of our members, in addition to Dick Rueter, are wished \u201cspeedy recovery\u201d following hospital stays or accidents during the winter months. These members include Steve Aus, Elaine Gorshe, George Shepherd, and Judy Sweeney.<\/p>\n
Unique happenings have occurred, which require special recognition as well.\u00a0 We had a very successful dance with the members of the Oak Grove Presbyterian Church in Bloomington the end of February.\u00a0 The S & P members voted on the status for the annual boat trip down the St. Croix River. \u00a0Some of us travelled to Coon Rapids to celebrate the 90th<\/sup> Birthday of Clem Herman.\u00a0 Dancers throughout the state are looking forward to upcoming dances in the months ahead, sponsored by a variety of clubs.<\/p>\n In addition to the visitors weekly at our dances and review lessons, we enjoy the spunky personalities of our Acting Presidents Al and Cindy Martin and we love rubbing shoulders with the SDM officers Don Hanson and Deb Hollimon who regularly are in attendance.\u00a0 Thanks to EVERYONE who help in some way to keep us a happy and active square dance club!<\/p>\n Come join us Wednesday nights for frivolity, fellowship, and fun!\u00a0 Come mingle with the young folks who interact with us. \u00a0It\u2019s a great place to dance!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" March 5, 2015 – Many thanks to the callers who have made themselves available while our regular caller Dick Rueter has been working in the warmer climate of Mesa, Arizona […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2352","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-activities"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.squaredancemn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2352","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.squaredancemn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.squaredancemn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.squaredancemn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.squaredancemn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2352"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.squaredancemn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2352\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2353,"href":"https:\/\/www.squaredancemn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2352\/revisions\/2353"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.squaredancemn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2352"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.squaredancemn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2352"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.squaredancemn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
