We had 5 Squares while dancing to Dick Mackey
On Friday 11/08 we enjoyed dancing to Dick Mackey. At times we had 5 squares up and dancing as Dick played with our minds in the way he called the square dance calls we all knew but not necessary in the formations that we were familiar executing them from.
The night was our Chili dance and Marilyn Ostroske, Susan Madden, Jerry Wolas, Virginia Marton and Betty Clay provided a wide range of chili dishes and the membership did a great job in providing side dishes and desserts for the pleasure of all!
We had dancers from Gnat Boxers, Brecksville who brought an entire square but couldn’t banner raid because they already have our banner, Broken Wheel and Medina.
Betsy Halladay greeted and Don Jaworske won the cake that she provided for the cakewalk.
Patricia Kilbane collected the free dance pass for bringing food and then drew the 50/50 ticket for her husband Pat.
11/1/2013 A successful banner raid at Broken Wheel
On 11/1 nine Solo Square Dance Club members showed up at Broken Wheel to dance to caller Tom Rudebock and cuer Kristy Lake. Thanks to Susan, Spanky, Terry, Bill, Caroline, Frank, Beverly, Barb and Bob for being at Broken Wheel to retrieve our banner. There were 8 squares up and dancing for quite a few tips. We had a good time and lots of fellowship.

There is a new web address for the Cleveland Federation website
I just found out yesterday that the Cleveland Federation website has a new web address. So for those that have the Cleveland Federation bookmarked or in there favorites you need to change the entry to:
http://www.clevelandsquaredance.org/
Jerry is still working on the conversion so some of the links and pages still need updated or content added.

October 25th Halloween dance
On October 25th we held the Halloween dance and danced 4 squares to Chris Jacobs most of the night. We had guests from Hubs, Brecksville, Lake Erie, Medina and North Coast. Hopefully I didn’t miss any club because I forgot to look at the sign in sheet. 
Here is a picture of the dancers that came dressed for Halloween some more then others. Everyone had a good time and the snack table had quite a varied selection so nobody went away hungry.

Dance on 9/13
We had Danny Beck call for us on 9/13 to the enjoyment of all that were there and we had nothing but good luck.
We danced 4 squares most of the night and we were banner raided by Brecksville and Medina. We were visited by a couple from Temple Twirlers located in Florida and enjoy their company.
We are going to have to make a more concentrated effort to banner raid as we are out of banners and the only banners that we know the locations of are Brecksville and Medina. If anyone is out to a dance and sees one of our banners PLEASE let Bob Davis or Erika Toth know where you saw the banner so that we can schedule a banner retrieval at that club. Thank You!
Lore Labuda won the free dance pass for bringing in a treat for us to enjoy and Jim Masuga won the fifty-fifty.
