A message from Jerry....

April showers bring May flowers. Spring has finally sprung, and with it has come the realization that our country is slowly returning to a more normal lifestyle. We owe a huge thank you to the scientists, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, postal workers, truck drivers, grocers, and all those essential workers who have made this recovery possible. The vaccines are also making a BIG contribution in restoring our daily activities, families can be together again, businesses are re-opening, and making it possible for square dancing to resume. It is time to celebrate these blessings!!!

It is exciting to know that I will call my first dance on April 9th!!! I have kept a checklist of 'things to do.' AND, I think I have covered everything...., bags packed, equipment loaded, been practicing, so....I'm ready to go. Do I seem anxious? It is my first dance in over a year, and I'm nervous. Yikes!!!

Here are a couple of upcoming events to put on your calendar:

Mainstream Extravaganza in Mineola, Texas with Tim Tyl over the Memorial Day Weekend
Ozark Getaway in Branson, Missouri with Gary Shoemake and Jerry Gilbreath. This is a new and exciting 5 day package at the Stone Castle Hotel & Conference Center in beautiful Branson, Missouri. The package includes hotel, two meals, evening dancing with daytime workshops. Wednesday will be an open day for everyone to explore the sights and sounds of Branson. That evening will include a show at the Clay Cooper Theater. Check out the printable flyer on this web site.

Also, both callers' schools will be held this summer. Space is limited to each.

Heart Of America School in Topeka, Kansas
Cascade Caller's School in Cle Elum, Washington

Again, check the printable flyers for all the details. There are some changes to my summer schedule as well. They have been noted on the calendar.

Finally, be sure to support your local callers as the clubs begin to resume dancing. Our clubs and club callers are the lifeblood of our activity.

May God Bless you all!!!
