Hello Dancers,

May is upon us. I hope everyone had a great Easter with family and friends.

April was a great month. We had 25 youth come to the Spring Fling youth dance. We had 9 squares of dancers going on the floor all evening. Ray Savell had a great mixture of youth and experienced dancers in squares out on the floor. We even had a special surprise 12-year-old call a tip. She did wonderful.

There are other big dances coming up next month. If you have never been to the Annual Texas State Festival dance, I would highly recommend you go. It is an excellent weekend of fun and dancing. The 74th National Square and Round Dance Convention is coming to Shreveport, LA in June as well. This is almost a week of fun, dancing and all types of square dance activities. I am looking forward to seeing what all they have planned there. I have a packet, made by the Florida Square Dance Association, that explains what types of things to plan for in a big dance like these. If you would like a copy, let me know.

Please congratulate your new officers who were elected in the last NORTEX Quarterly meeting. They officially begin this year’s duties on July 1st.

Vince Matej – President
Erin & Tommy Uzee – Secretary
