Class of 2010 Graduation

Last night out class of 2010 graduated and enjoyed an evening of dance, fellowship and fun! Our dance started with learning Cha-Cha dance moves with Shirley Wilson at 7pm and Square Dancing began at 8 pm. After alternating a couple of tips, the class graduation ceremony proceeded. The Class of 2010 consisted of 12 students who learned the basic and mainstream moves of Square Dancing. The ceremony consists of Square Dance Commitments and fun with the Caller and students. Bob Morrison performed wonderful class instructions for our students. He presented a poem for his class with his usual humorous manner. Click on the link below to enjoy the cute poem he presented:

Square Dance Night

The students then presented their Class Valedictorian, Angel Dedications, and a lovely song to Bob. They truly appreciated his time and efforts in their instruction of Square Dancing. In addition, they were very thankful to all the "Class Angels" who came each week to dedicate their time and talents to make sure the learning experience was one of success and fun! Thanks to all for the time well spent!!! Click on the link below, Bob’s Way, to enjoy the words of their song of gratitude to Bob (words sung to the music of My Way by Frank Sinatra):

Bob’s Way

Thank to all that came to support our Graduation Dance. We enjoyed the evening with fellowship, fun, dance, and food! Thank you leadership for all your efforts in creating another great dance night!

Alan Hall coming soon!

The Prez Says

Hello to all our fellow square dancers We seem to be having great turn-outs for our dances so far this year, and we hope that trend continues. Our most recent dance was Lake Shore Squares Graduation Dance. We had over 110 people in attendance that night, and welcomed 12 new Graduates into our ranks. We are proud to have then join us, and look forward to many more years of enjoying their company.

Also at our previous dance, Shirley Wilson started having FREE Cha-Cha classes that will continue on before each of our regular dances. We had about 40 people show up for classes each night so far. Nice to see such a large group coming early for the fun, and instructions. It sure is a lot of fun. It will continue on for several more weeks. Please come and join us. Classes begin at 7:00 pm and go until almost 8:00 pm. This replaced our normal ’early rounds’ for the near future. We hope many people will take advantage of these free classes, and folks will come Cha-Cha with us.

Our next dance on March 6th we will have our Wearing O’ the Green St. Paddy’s Dance Ken Perkins will be calling, with Shirley Wilson cueing. SO get out your green, and come join us for a night of fun and excitement.

It’s coming up quickly, so I want to take a minute to make sure everyone knows about our Anniversary Dance we are having on March 20th. We’ll be celebrating 46 wonderful years as a club. I want to personally invite all the members from our sister clubs, and especially want to invite everyone who is a member, or has ever been a member of Lake Shore Squares to please attend that night. We understand that we are one of the oldest clubs in the state, and are proud of that fact. It is hard to keep something going for this long without the work and effort of a lot of people over these many years. We want to show our appreciation, and hope to have a big crowd in attendance. Ken Perkins will be calling, and I’m sure he’ll have something up his sleeve.

I also want to make everyone aware we will be collecting items to send to all our brave soldiers stationed over seas. We’ll have a benefit dance for that a few months from now, and admission for that dance will be items for our troops.

I wanted to make everyone aware so you could be on the look-out for needed items and get them when you saw a sale. Down below I am going to provide a list below to give people some idea of the many items needed for our troops. If we all can starting saving items now,.. we should be able to have a nice collection to show our troops just how much we appreciate their sacrifices.

Please get out and dance. Square dancers are some of the finest people we have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. It is an honor to know all of you. We hope you’ll come and visit us soon and often.
