Hello dancers! 

 

Let's finish January strong as we enjoy Soul Night with The Watchers.  They will play from 8-10 pm.  A reminder the cost is $6 for members and $8 for non-members due to the live band.

 

We have a membership meeting at 6:30 pm in the basement.  The board will give updates on how things are going and events planned for the next few months.

 

We have a raffle for a ticket to Sunflower Swing 2012.  It is a $1 for one raffle ticket and $3 for five raffle tickets.  What you win is a pass for three nights of dancing and two days of workshops valued at $85.  All proceeds go towards Sunflower Swing.  Go to www.sunflowerswing.com for registration and detailed information.  Save the date June 22-24, 2012.

 

Sunday is also the birthday jam.  If you are a January baby come out and grove to the music as we celebrate another year with you.

 

We will have classes on February 5^th – Super Bowl Sunday.
