A great big Thank you to Doug and Alice Newman for their work organizing the outing!! Eric and Cindy Selby awarded the Hopper of the Year to Anne Lucas and Ray Baron, a very well deserved award to a couple who have always been there for the club. The look on Anne s face when she realized she had won was priceless!! Tinamarie mentioned an important item during the meeting even though his is a club dance, it is our 60 th Anniversary dance and we are asking all Hopper members to dress in their caravan outfits. (If you don t have an official outfit, it is fine to wear something in Blue and Silver). The reason for the caravan outfits is that we will be taking a group photo of the Hoppers four website and newsletter and for posterity. The las group photo was taken at the Samena s so this will be a great time to have a new updated photo with our caravan outfits and in the hall where we dance. Dan Preedy is excited and ready to call a great dance, and the Hoppers and their guests are ready to party. Hope to see you all at our Anniversary Dance!!
