WSDS Weekly 11/17/11

Hello dancers! 

 

Thank you to those who attended and supported the Central Prairie Honor Flight.  Congratulate our very own Shirley Hess and Isaiah Johnson for winning the dance competition.  A special thank you to Ronnie Choy and all of those who made our Sock Hop a success.

 

Our Christmas Party is just a few weeks away.  As a gift to our members the event is free.  For non-members it will cost $10 to enter.  You are encouraged to dress up and bring snacks to share.  The special guest will be Nouveau Quintette playing for us from 7-10 pm.  We will have a silent auction during the evening.  The funds are for Sunflower Swing, to build a better event.  We currently have donations of dance lessons from several instructors, a set of Blues Ball tickets, jewelry, handcrafted clock, wine, and handmade hats, scarfs, pillows and various desserts.  Perhaps this has sparked your interest to donate to our cause.  We appreciate your participation with a donation and your preparation to bid at the event.
