Music Committee

The Music Committee has had a busy summer previewing, selecting, rating, and recording music for your enjoyment. Many, many hours have gone into this serious process. The CDC's Music Library now boasts approximately 800 selections which have been carefully scrutinized. For their generosity, we would like to convey our warmest thanks to: May H., Howard B., Glen & Elinor W., Jason R., and Lori R.!

President's Address

Thank You to everyone for helping make our recent 17th Anniversary Ball such a resounding success. Thank You again to all the performers and to Dave K. for being our very capable Emcee. We are very proud to show representation from all the local Ballroom Dance Groups, and hope the trend will grow and continue.

It has been interesting and rewarding in returning to our ``roots'' at the P & P Pavilion. We value the wonderful floor, and the gracious treatment by the facility staff, and especially, Pius, who helps out in so many ways. Thank You everyone for helping clear the tables, and keep the venue tidy. Your help and attendance are most appreciated.

Garry and I appreciate the opportunity to share our dance knowledge with this very fine group, and would like to extend our heartfelt ``Thanks'' to Glen, Elinor, Jason, and Nicole for assisting us in instructing the lessons this past year.

There aren't enough words to express the gratitude to this CDC Executive Committee for their loyalty, dedication, and friendship, so I'll simply say, ``Thank You to Each and Every one of You.'' I Love You all!

Warmest Wishes to Everyone for a Happy Dance Year,

Lisa R.
