Samena Squares Newsletter #15
01/12/2012
Dear Friends,
Are you surviving the snow? We ended getting 5 or 6 inches at our house in Redmond. It is beautiful. Drive carefully if you have to go out to work tomorrow.
This week I am going to be sending an addendum to the newsletter with a piece on the Code of Ethics for New Square Dancers. Apparently at some dances some of these points have been an issue. I know all of you have done a great job at class and at dances but I need to share anyway. It will also be on my web site under the Square Dance Writing tab.
Have a great week! Stay warm and dry! Stay safe on the roads, slow and steady gets you there.
See you Thursday!
Happy dancing,
Susan
