On 10/11 we held our annual charity dance sponsoring “Believe in the Cure'” created by are own Beth Filina’s daughter-in-law Joanne Filinia. Thanks to our members and visitors we raised $351 that will be used here in Ohio to focus on adolescent and young adult cancer research along with providing funds to families that need assistance in paying the medical bills that pile up during cancer treatment. You can learn more about this charity at Joanne’s website BelieveInTheCure.org.
Our visiting clubs were Brecksville, Circulator’s who had a banner retrieval, Broken Wheel who banner raided, Lake Erie and Western Whirlers. There were times that we had 6 squares up at a time dancing to Mike Sumpter.
The cake walk prize was provided by Frank and Caroline Walters and was won by Sherrie. The fifty-fifty was won by one of the Circulator Square Dance members.
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.
We will start our first of three free introductory to Square Dancing sessions on September 9th. The sessions are free to all who come to learn more about Western style Square dancing. Come in casual dress and comfortable shoes by yourself or with someone as we have plenty of experienced Square Dancers to dance along with you. Enjoy the friendship of our club and a little low impact exercise of the body and mind.
The introductory sessions last through September and then the lessons start in October where you will learn more Square Dance calls then were taught during the introductory sessions. Lessons start promptly at 7 PM and last until 9 PM and cost $4 per lesson.
We hope to see you there!
The lessons are held at:
St. Paul Lutheran Church,
276 E. Bagley Rd,
Berea, Ohio 44017
Which is on the corner of Eastland and Bagley roads.
The Solo Square Dance Club provided the people power to assemble the September/October Tip Topper and in the above picture provided by Beth it seems that Don is surrounded. Thanks to Betsy, Erika, Susan, Beth, Carolyn, Betty and Don for representing the club.
I have updated the Solo Square Dance Club calendar with the summer schedule for Brecksville (Note new location and times) and the schedule for the workshops that Tom Strickland will be holding on Tuesday nights at the Christ the King Church in North Olmsted.
