Wichita Swing Dance Society

Hello dancers!  It's August, and while the weather outside is hot, you've been keeping the dance floor even hotter.  I want to draw your attention to the packet attached to this email.  The WSDS will be electing a new board on September 12, and we need officers!  If you're at all interested, please look the packet over and ask any current board members questions.  That night will also be our next Membership meeting, so be sure to come cast your vote and let your voice be heard!
