I don't know what has put her in a bad mood, but fingers crossed she's about over her hissy fit and we'll get in some dancing in March. If you're one of our few members who do not have access to a computer and are wondering if a Swingin' Singles dance has been cancelled, you can call my cell If the dance is cancelled, I'll have a message to that effect on it. Those with computers will receive an advising them of the cancellation. It will also be noted on our Facebook page and at wesquaredance.com. Because of the February 19th dance cancellation, we will vote on the club officers, Tuesday, March 5th. See separate listing in this newsletter for candidates. There are some great dancing options available to us in March. Check your calendar so you don't miss any of them. I look forward to seeing you Tuesday, March 5th.
