Hello dancers!  If you weren't there Sunday you missed a very important day, we elected a new board!  Here's your leadership for the upcoming year:
 
President - Evan Borst
Vice President - Missy O'Dell
Treasurer - Sonya Lingvai

That's no typo, we actually did not elect a membership chair for the board, because nobody ran.  We would like to fill the position, but we need somebody willing!  If you're interested respond to this email promptly.  Applicants must have access to Microsoft Excel, and be serious about the time commitment involved in serving on the board.
