Footnotes Established 1983 May 2013 Indianapolis, IN President s Corner Wow! Our Grease party was a blast!! It was so much fun seeing ladies in poodle skirts and guys with their hair greased back and rolled up jeans. And what fun to dance to a great blend of 50 s music provided by our dualing DJs Roger Greenawalt and Don Mindach. The floor was packed the entire night!! See page 6 for pictures. During the party, one member proudly announced to me that he had just renewed his membership. He was thrilled to receive a free admission to the dance and was very happy the evening s event included food at no extra cost! He understood the bargain Indy Dancers provided!! No doubt, Indy Dancers gives you the best bang for you buck. Remember our Christmas party? The low ticket prices were your membership and attendance dollars at work! Remember the free turkey and the trimmings provided at our Thanksgiving dinner? That was your membership and attendance dollars coming back to you. Remember our anniversary dance at the Indiana Roof Ballroom? The ticket price has not changed for at least the past six years because of your membership and attendance dollars. For entertainment value, Indy Dancers can t be beat! But now is the time to renew your membership for another year, and you don t want to miss out on all the fun. If you renew by June 1, we will give you one FREE admission!! What a bargin!! Want to get geared up for the 500 race?? Join us for our Snake Pit party this month!
