I have attached that picture for anybody that would like to have a copy to remember Danny by. Bruce -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We will miss him terribly. But as most of you know we must carry on. Danny would want that. The Whirl & Twirl Square Dance Club in Orlando, Florida is looking for a caller that will be willing to take over the whole program. By the whole program I probably need to explain We are a member run club. We have a board of 9 couples that govern all aspects of the club. We are a very active club with approximately 180 members. We dance twice a week, every week. We dance Mainstream on Wednesday evenings with Line Dancing in between tips. We dance Plus on Friday with Rounds between tips. We have a cuer that takes care of the rounds but Danny always handled the line dancing as well as the squares on Wednesday. We own our own building so we have the luxury of doing what we want when we want. We hold 2 basic classes each year. We teach the class the first 53 calls and then graduate them and let them join the club into our Wednesday Mainstream Program. That is why we call Wednesdays a Progressive Mainstream. When a class graduates the Mainstream Program falls back to the first 53 calls and then "progresses" through the next calls until the total Mainstream level is obtained. As soon as the first class graduates we start a new class. The first class starts in September or October and the next class starts in February or March. The club members can stay on Wednesday at the Mainstream Level as long as they wish. But when they are ready we hold a Plus Class on Monday nights. We usually only hold a Plus Class once a year. Our Round Dance Cuers, Pete & Jan Shankle, cue the rounds on Friday night and they have a Round Dance Class and Dance on Thursday evening. If you would be interested in relocating to the Orlando area and taking over the whole dance program here at Whirl & Twirl please contact me at brucemorgan at earthlink.net or 407-339-3121. I would be more that happy to discuss any questions that you might have. Please visit our web site at www.whirlandtwirl.org for more information about our club.

Message-ID: <44098927.3020402@gmx.de> It looks like that the 55th NSDC will save the money for hiring the live band Ghostriders. That might be end in having the huge Exhibition hall A in the evenings for Mainstream, but most dancers will be somewhere else (if they don't stay away from attending the 55th NSDC because the only live music there will be the fiddlers at the Contra room...)... Last year the 54rd NSDC also tried to come through without the live band, but fortunately they changed their mind and so the Ghostriders played all evenings, including on Wednesday.
