WSDS Weekly 8/23/12

Hello dancers!

Come and celebrate your August birthday this Sunday with the birthday jam.

Consider a series class for September. Beginning and Intermediate Lindy Hop are offered next month. For those that have completed Beginning or Intermediate Lindy previously, the cost for the month to refresh your skills is $16 for members ($4 a week) and $24 ($6 a week) for non-members.

Thank you to Chelsea, Sonya, Megan, Corina, Marshall and Evan for their service on the WSDS board this past year. As the year closes for one board another has been selected and we are eager to have another successful year.
