Classic Dance Club


April 2001 Newsletter


As another great year of dancing begins to draw to a close we still have more dancing to do and a number of big events to look forward to.

16th Anniversary Ball

Our next dance is a special one and promises to be a big event! Please join us on Saturday, April 21 in the Commonwealth Ballroom of the Quality Hotel for our 16th Anniversary Ball. Dancing will begin at 8:00pm (no lesson) with a Dance Showcase later in the evening. Come and help us celebrate our 16th year!

Annual General Meeting

The CDC's 16th AGM will be held at 8:00pm on Saturday, May 19, 2001 at the Grosvenor Park United Church, just before our May dance. There will be no lesson that evening. We appreciate your interest and support of the Club, so please plan to attend. If you are interested in serving on the Classic Dance Club Executive please contact Glen or send email to aa070@sfn.saskatoon.sk.ca. (Serving on the Executive requires about one to two evenings per month.) We would like to convey our warmest thanks to those who are letting their names stand for the upcoming year, and a big Thank You to those executive members who are stepping down and who have contributed much time, effort, and support for the Club.

President's Address

The 2000-2001 Classic Dance Club season will very quickly be drawing to a close. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the members for their support, and to thank the executive for all their hard work in putting on the dances, collecting music, and other behind-the-scenes work. Thanks go to Shelley for her two year term as treasurer.

Classic's 16 Anniversary Ball is on Saturday, April 21st at the Quality Hotel. It is an evening that I'm looking forward to with great anticipation. The showcase presentation at the 15 anniversary was a huge success. We hope to generate as much excitement this year with the presentation of a Waltz Formation, as well as other routines performed by members of the Club. Come out and celebrate Classic's 16th birthday with us!

Our Annual General Meeting is fast approaching, and we hope to see you out to elect a new executive. We will also be discussing future plans and directions for the Club, and appreciate member's input and participation to this process. I'd like to take this opportunity to invite anyone interested in being a part of the executive to approach any of the current executive for more information.

Special thanks to Lisa and Garry for being our head instructors, and for volunteering their time and expertise for the lessons. They have been invaluable in collecting and maintaining the Club's music library. Their support and encouragement has been greatly appreciated.

And last, but not least, a thank you to my husband for taking on the role as VP, and for being my dance partner.
