Hello Dancers,

Can you believe it is March? The weather is warming up, and it’s so nice outside. I am sure that many of you have heard numerous stories and seen many pictures and videos regarding the “Square Dance Cruise” that departed from Galveston in February. Pamela and I were blessed to go on this cruise, and we have many stories to share as well. The biggest take away from the cruise is easy. There were some of the best callers and dancers from around the world all in one place. To sit for lunch and watch old and new friends pass by, going to eat was amazing. If you are able and want to do this next time, there is another cruise coming in 2028. Make plans now for the next cruise. Payments were made for two years, allowing us to enjoy the fun. Payments also reduce the impact of the cost all at once.

Several clubs have been having lessons this winter. New students will be coming out to dance soon. Please be patient and kind with them as they get into squares with you. We were once new dancers, and it took a little while to transition from lesson speed to dance floor speed.

Please make plans to attend the NORTEX Quarterly Business Meeting in April. New officers are being elected during this meeting. It is hard to believe that my tenure as your President is coming to an end in June 2026.

I look forward to being out and seeing all of you in a square in one location or another. Get out, dance, and have FUN!

OLE’
