WSDS Weekly 11/22/11

Hello dancers! 

 

Happy Thanksgiving!  After the holiday, shopping and football, I trust you are ready to dance. Sunday is our Birthday jam.  Come and celebrate the November birthday babies.

 

December 4th is our Annual Christmas Party from 7-10 pm.  A beginning East Coast Swing lesson is offered from 6:30-7 pm.  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 is Nouveau Quintette playing music for 3 hours.  We will have a silent auction during the evening.  The fundraiser is to make Sunflower Swing a better event.  We currently have donations of dance lessons from several instructors, a set of Blues Ball tickets, jewelry, handcrafted clocks, wine, and handmade hats, scarfs, pillows and various desserts.  We are accepting donations and appreciate your participation at the event. 

 

December 4th Goodwill Industries has asked us to come share our gift of dancing at their annual fundraiser Festival of Trees at Century II.  Set your watches, dancing will commence at 1pm for an hour.  Come join the fun in sharing good cheer.
