Wichita Swing Dance Society

Hello dancers!  Thanks to everyone who came out and let helped make Soul Night a party last week!  As long as you support them, we'll be sure to keep having them.
 
Also thank you to everybody who came out to the final Swing Night at the Shadow this past Tuesday.  I appreciate you helping show the Shadow our gratitude for a great run.  We are working on getting another location for some free mid-week dancing, keep your ears open!
 
Sunflower Swing still needs help from you the dancers.  People interested in volunteering can save money on a weekend pass OR get in free to individual events, depending on how much you volunteer!  Respond to this email if you're interested.  We also need people willing to put up the growing number of out of towners we have coming in.  Fill out our housing form here:  http://www.wichitaswingdance.com/ani_housing.html
