Easter is just a little early this year. April 4th is the day. Other days to celebrate this month are: Administrative Professionals Day (secretary’s day) on April 21, Earth Day on April 22 and Arbor Day, April 30. Here in the southwest district the one big date to remember this month is the fourth Saturday, April 24th. Not for the Altus Twirlers dance, but for the Southwest District Spring Festival to be held in Hydro. The Twirlers will be going dark to support our district and hope to see everyone there.

The Twirlers had another great evening in February. Don and Bonnie Main called a super dance. We always have so much fun dancing to Don’s calling. Two plus squares danced the night away with Vernon Travelers, Western Swing, Hydro Hi Steppers, and of course the Twirlers in attendance. Gene Morton won the ―split the pot‖ and Gerald Sherrill won the door prize. A fun time was had by all.

Speaking of Gerald… we hear by way of the grapevine that there is a wedding planned for April. Congratulations to Gerald and Ann Passmore who will be tying the knot on April 10th. We wish them both much happiness.

Our next dance will be on May 22nd at the Altus Community Center, East side, with Skip Gates scheduled to do the calling for the evening. Plan on coming on down and joining us as we are planning on graduating our new dancers that evening.

Once again, we send our prayers along to all who are under the weather or have had recent surgeries, chemo treatments or are just not up to snuff. We miss each and every one of you. Those that I can think of at the top of my head are: Debbie Wilson, Beverly Petross, Kelvin Casebeer, Pat Meason, Jill Stewart, and any others who I am not aware of or just can’t remember. Hurry up, get well, and come back to dancing.

Once again, I have run out of things to say….so….I will close for now. See you all in a square real, real soon.
