Wichita Swing Dance Society

Hello dancers!  First and foremost thank you to everyone who came out to support Sunflower Swing 2011 last weekend!  The event was a success and all of you that came out were a part of it.
 
With one big event in the WSDS year complete, another looms in the near future.  That's right, elections.  Everything you see with the WSDS, from the Christmas Party to Sunflower Swing to our awesome Swingin' Sundays is a result of the hard work of the executive board.  Attached to this email is the election packet for this year.  You'll find a list of duties for each office.  If you are a member in good standing, please consider giving your time and energy to keep the club running well.
 
Only self-nominations are accepted, and are due by July 31st.  You may turn them in at the front table on a Sunday night, or deliver them electronically to Sylvia Dalton at sdalton5@cox.net
 
The elections are August 14th, which will also include a membership meeting.  We expect to have big things to talk about for the coming year at this meeting, so please attend!  Not only can you vote on the leaders for the next year, you can provide your input.
 
With all that being said, let's get back to the regular email....
 
THIS WEEK
Sunday is the return of the Balboa classes, and Evan and Megan have some more delightful Bal-Swing for you!  Class starts at 7 so don't be late...
 
Thursday night is the Dollar Dance!  That means swing dancing to DJ'd music from 7-9 PM, and all for just $1!  We encourage you to bring a snack to share and help us have another fun evening of cheap mid-week dancing!
