Presidents Message

George speaking: Here it is December 15, and I just finished putting the lights on the tree. As I look back on 200l, I see some successes and some short comings in our efforts to lead North Central District.

We have had a good dance year. The callers and cuers (the ones that we danced to, not necessarily me) have put on good shows for us and everyone appeared to have a good time at the District and Club dances. The main short fall was in recruiting new dancers. While all of the clubs did gain a few members, I had hoped that we could do better.

Another, kind of "blue" episode is the loss of two 50+ year clubs, with the merger of Chikaskia Valley and Pioneer Squares into the Cherokee Strip Square Dance Club. The good news is that we will not lose any dance dates, and the merger is more of a reorganization than a failure of either club.

As we look forward to passing the gavel to Charles and Laura, I ask that you support them in their efforts to lead us into the future of square dancing. I still think that our  number one challenge is in recruiting. We all need to work harder at bringing new dancers into our activity.
