Hello Dancers,

In August, we brought our Texas students back to school. Be careful out driving that you watch for those little ones. With the beginning of school in Aledo, a motivational speaker was brought in to “motivate” staff for the upcoming year. This Lady, Anne Grady, spoke about negative emotions. Most people have an easier time remembering the negative things that happen in their life. This is human nature. She mentioned that we need to focus on positive things that happen in our day and write them down and save them. These are called Delicious Moments. I love the idea of keeping track of the positive. I challenge you dancers to find positive things that happen in your life and call it a delicious moment and relish in it for a while.

If you have not seen the flyer, there are seven clubs beginning lessons in September in and around the Metroplex. This is our chance to GROW NORTEX. An anonymous donor has paid for NORTEX to do several Facebook ads advertising our lessons. The Pioneers have already got a person calling about their lessons. This is a delicious moment for NORTEX. I encourage all of the clubs to continue advertising and attracting new students for their lessons.

This week, NORTEX said goodbye to a longtime member as he went to celebrate in heaven with Jesus. Please keep Debbie McCrary and her family in your prayers. Glen touched so many people in so many different ways. He will be greatly missed.

Life can get busy! Take time to dance and rejuvenate. It makes the following week a lot easier after you dance and socialize with your square dance family.

Let’s Grow NORTEX,
