Thank You Missy! My first WSDS Weekly would not be complete without a big, heartfelt THANK YOU to Missy Hawkins, who has served as President of the WSDS for the last two years. Under Missy's leadership, we have moved to our swanky new venue, hosted our two most successful Sunflower Swing weekends, and continued to grow as a community. Be sure to ask this lady to dance the next time you see her, and tell her thanks!    Chelsea Rothschild See you next week!
