With December upon us, and Christmas just around the corner, the dance
season has been flying by! We hope that you have been enjoying the
dance events thus far, and that you continue to do so for the rest of
the dance season.
CDC's 20th Anniversary Ball & Showcase
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the club, and
we are marking the event with a very special 20th Anniversary
Ball and Showcase. Your Executive's Special-Events Planning Committee
has been working hard on what is promising to be a very exciting
evening. More information is available in the President's Address,
and additional details will be forthcoming in the new year as plans
are finalized.
President's Address
To members of the Classic Dance Club I wish to express my sincerest
appreciation for your turn out at our dance functions. Our executive is
always inspired by your enthusiastic support. We take pride in providing a
most friendly dance environment, in a great facility with a superb dance
floor and fantastic music.
Preparations for our 20th Anniversary Ball for May 6,
2005 are well underway. We have just received confirmation from
Barbara Ferchuk and Brent Smith, (American Style Smooth & Rhythm
Professional Dance Champions from Vancouver ), who will be honoring us
with a Nine Dance Showcase Extravaganza, followed by Workshops the
next day. Both Barbara and Brent served on the CDC Executive in the
early years of the club, and we are really looking forward to having
them help us celebrate the club's 20th Anniversary.
The Christmas Season is almost here. On behalf of the CDC
Executive I would like to wish all of our members a very Merry
Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Yours sincerely,
Garry R.
