Temecula Grape Stompers Square Dance Club www.grapestompers.net Dear Grape Stompers, Congratulations to our students who have come this far in our class. Charlie tells us that we only have about 7 more calls to teach. This means that in a few weeks you will have been exposed to all the calls in the Basic, Mainstream and Plus levels. It is important to know that these last calls on the Plus list will be building on what you already know from the Basic and Mainstream calls. It is also important that you do your best to attend class and pay attention to Charlie's teaching. Remember that the learning continues. You may have noticed that even the very experienced angels make mistakes and can learn something now and then. Please don't take this too seriously and know that you will make mistakes. Take a deep breath, smile and keep on dancing. There is always something more to learn. This is not the end of your square dance journey. Enjoy the journey and have FUN with it. After graduation, we will continue Monday evenings with workshops and fun dancing until our next new class starts in September. We would like to thank the angels that have committed to helping our students during this class. We have always enjoyed sharing the fun of square dancing with new dancers and hope you have too. These last few calls on the Plus list can take a little extra time to teach, therefore we have two requests of the angels. 1. Be very careful about talking when Charlie is teaching. It is important that our students have every opportunity to hear Charlie. 2. Be mindful of talking to Charlie during the breaks. We all love to talk to Charlie but be aware of his time. Know that your long conversations are taking time away from the class at this very critical time. Once again, thank you for all of the effort that you put into making our class a fun learning experience for our students. Mark your calendars - class graduation/party time is Monday, June 26. Jerry & Veronica Ellie: What kind of bee is the most indecisive? Charlie: I m not sure, which one? Ellie: A Maybe!

We are proud to support the Semper Fi Fund again this year. Participate by donating by cash or check, buying or donating an item at our silent auction, or by asking friends and neighbors to sponsor you at the dance ($ for number of tips you dance/# of twirls/etc.). Last year we donated $1268 to this fund. Let's see if we can increase that amount. Thank you for your support.
