Wichita Swing Dance Society

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
 
Hopefully at least one of those things interests you enough to attend, so be there at 6:30 on the 12th!
