Hello Ballroom Dancers,
Happy New Year! We hope 2026 brings a year of good health, happy memories, good times to enjoy and a great year of dancing for all. Our December dance, The Holly Jolly Ball, was a lot of fun! We started off with a West Coast Swing lesson by the fantastic Beata Howe. Our band was Tye & Noot with Friends and they did a wonderful job with so many styles of music. We are very fortunate to have such great talent in the area to enjoy dancing with live music.
At the conclusion of 2025, we had a send-off to some members of the board who have served so faithfully for several years. Those leaving were: Mary Fares as Secretary, Walt Hannon as Membership, Peter Hjelm as Programs & Entertainment, and Gail Horne as Assistant to the Board. We thank them for their service these past years and wish them well. Now it is time for them to come to a dance and just relax.
Our new Board Members for 2026 include: Tom Kinder – Vice President, Gillian Gonzales – Secretary, Daniel Thomas – Treasurer, Tom Sowell – Marketing & Publicity, Mario Monteiro – Membership, Merlyn Monteiro – Reservations and Dance Host Coordinator, Nancy Henrichsen – Parlimentarian, Lynn Knesek – Assistant to the Board, Linda Henrie – Past President, and Minnette Kless – President.
We are starting off the year with a chance to Turn Back Time – The 40s Era. Dress up in your best 1940s attire. It will be fun to dance and Turn Back Time with the amazing 17 member band, Crosswinds Jazz Band, and a vocalist. Our lesson will be by A Dance to Remember owner, Margaret Kochan who will teach a Rumba lesson to get us off to a good start.
Let’s get ready to Cut a Rug for our first dance this year!
See you on the dance floor,
Minnette Kless
