Weekly Update 11/19

Hello dancers! You are on a roll lately! Thanks to all of you who came out to make the Sock Hop a great time. Before we get into the nuts and bolts today, a little bit of housekeeping:

1) If you are the people in the attached picture, or know who they are, please contact me immediately.

2) Are you a WSDS member? If not, please take a second to read the following: A membership costs you $25 a year or $15 a year if you are a student, in the military, or at least 55 years old.

Now is a great time to become a member, and here's why:
You don't pay to get in the door the night you join = you save $5
You don't pay to get into the WSDS Christmas Party = you save $10
You get in cheaper every week = you save $2/week

So, if you qualify for the discounted membership it will pay for itself in just two nights. If you do not, your membership will almost pay for itself entirely before it is even 2010! The year membership starts the night you join, so it behooves you to start saving yourself money participating in your favorite hobby. Just something to think about......

3) The next membership meeting will be Sunday, January 3rd. It'll run in the studio basement from 6:30 - 7:15 PM. A chance to hear what we've been up to since the elections, and a chance to talk with your board directly. Hope to see you there.
