Hello dancers!  First and foremost, I want to direct your attention to September 12th.  That night is our election of new board members for the coming year.  Attached in this email is the nomination packet, please look at it if you are interested in giving back to this group.  Without the board there is not a single WSDS event that would happen.  I cannot tell you how important it is, and we have holes to fill this year.  If you are not interested in running, but are a member, then please come that night to vote in our elections!  In the basement from 6:30 - 8:00 PM we will hold the elections and our membership meeting.

 

A quick preview of that meeting's agenda:

Elections

Fiscal Recap of Sunflower Swing

Fiscal Recap since price increase

Christmas party options this year
