From the President We are all so very busy: summer is over, fall cleaning, fall decorations, many went to SOS, some of us had to deal with Hurricane Matthew, and some of us are dealing with physical and emotional issues. Remember we all have the DC Hand Dance Club, as I have said before, our soft place to fall. We can venture out to a monthly dance or one of our weekly venues and visit with our dance friends. Talk, dance, and spend time on the up side of life one of the many things that make this club MORE than just a dance club. We are lucky to have a supportive dance family. The Holiday season is just ahead; time to make your plans for our Halloween/Toy for Tots dance on November 5 th and our Christmas dinner/dance on December 10 th.. Don t forget our New Year s Eve Celebration at the DoubleTree Hotel, tell your friends. Your club works hard to put together these events and we ask that you support as many as you can. Last year our numbers were down for New Year s Eve, if this trend continues, we might have to reconsider this event for next year. It is true that I do not see everyone regularly but I am in contact with the board members daily, I see the emails you send to the club and I talk with members frequently. I continue to monitor the daily business of the club and the weekly venues while managing our communication system and maintaining our website. As the Event Coordinator, I m working on New Year s Eve 2016 and Meet Me At The Beach, 2017. I am only a phone call or email away, do not hesitate to use either: 301-335-1151 or vann24@verizon.net Dance Today Tomorrow is not Promised!

NOTES FROM MEMBERS The following notes are from members: Janice & Larry Peters had quite an adventure in Los Angeles on Monday, May 9 - - they were in the audience of the Dancing With The Stars live show very close to dance floor and stage. Besides meeting dancers and one TV star, the most exciting time was right before the show began when the audience was invited to dance on the dance floor - - - which they did - - - DC Hand Dance style!! An exciting and wonderful memory never to be forgotten. Joe and Sondra Riley will be celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary on November 26, 2016... He says I got her right out of the cradle!
