<font size=3>Mike, my opinion will matter little. But I have to question
why anyone feels a name will benefit this group.<br>
It would seem that you have a good thing going. Why take the chance of
screwing it up with a name.<br>
Further, since there are no officers it would seem that you are "in
charge". It would seem that the couple is bring their experience of
square dancing into your group. We both know what politics can do to sq.
dancing. A name, the next step will be officers, then the next step will
be politics. <br>
Unless you feel a name will help promote this group, decline the
temptation. <br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>I have been calling for a new
"Community Dance" group in the city of Key West for the last 7
weeks. We are just that. We are not a MWSD group.
However, I do teach the moves of MWSD, in the event they want to
move on, they will know the moves without having to relearn them.
<br><br>
We also do Eastern Square dances, contras, mixers, lines, circle dances,
ethnic, Western Rounds, even non queued waltzes and swing. <br>
Our policy is "open door" every night. No experience
necessary. It is loosely run, with no officers.<br><br>
It has been suggested, more than once, by a MWSD couple that we make it a
club and choose a "name". We have been
referring to it as: <br>
"Community Dancing" , Monday Nights, 7 pm, 750 United
Street, Casual Dress, Everyone Welcome.<br><br>
Will giving a name make it sound like you have to "join",
"pay dues", "be an officer", etc.? What do you
think? Do we need a name?<br><br>
