Happening August 19th, 2019

Hello Dance friends,

These weeks go by so quickly. Summer days keep us out and about and the days fly by. Here we are again looking at Monday already. It’s time to get out for some dancing.

Our good guy Bill will be at the helm this week, so you know that’s got to be a hoot. In addition, we can look for our fiddle queen Ms. Kim and maybe some of her talented friends. We had unexpected guests last week and it was a grand time. If you stuck around last week, you’ll recall I snuck in a quick and lovely bonus dance that I carried back from Sweden. That’s uncommon and it wasn’t scheduled, but it was worth breaking out.

You can still find us at 8800 SW Oleson Road in Portland, and we start up at 7:30 pm. I’d be pleased to see you there. Please come and join us.

Thank You Musicians and DJs!

A big thanks to those who play tunes for us every Monday!

Donations Welcome

Why? These days our membership fees are just almost enough to meet our expenses. We didn't want to raise them this year, so we're putting a donation jar on the entry table and hoping for the best! If you can help, thank you!

We also have our own teaching DVDs for sale (set of two for $10) and our new sturdy shoe bags for $10 each if you want to contribute that way!
