All,
This will be the last term for the current board members. Myself, Raeleen, Kathy, and Al have all decided that we are ready to retire from the board. If this dance organization is to continue we will need a new board. We are willing to stay on through at least March 2023 to ensure a smooth transition; however, if a new board is not in place by March 2023 we will be forced to shut down our chapter by June 2023 at the latest.
Board members need to be active members of USA dance. If you would like to serve on the board you will need to ensure your membership is up-to-date. If you are not a member but are willing to serve on the board contact one of the current board members and we can submit your form. We will need at least four members to form a board (up to a total of 9-10).
We are trying to improve the dances as best we can for as long as we can. This includes hiring a DJ and/or a band. We are also looking into a Christmas party. If you are willing to help coordinate a Christmas party please feel free to reach out to us. At the very least we are asking for someone to volunteer coordinating the refreshments. Linda will bring the refreshments to the next dance in November; however, that will be the last dance that she will bring refreshments.
We understand that this news is rather sudden, but we need new blood if we wish to continue and grow as a ballroom dance chapter. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time on the board for the last 12 years, serving as your president for the last six. However, time has come to turn over the running of the chapter to new people.
Thank you,
Ken Curry, Raeleen St. Pierre, Kathy Rowe, Al Saubermann
