I have been asked to announce that there will be a "Mini Estate Sale" on Friday and Saturday September 14 and 15 from 10:00am to 3:00pm.  This will include square dance clothes of the late Charlene Berryman.  There will also be many other things for sale.  This will be indoors.

The address is 14596 US-90 ALT Kingsbury, TX 78638  This is the highway between Seguin and Gonzales.  I was told it is 4 miles from Belmont going west towards Seguin,  If you have any questions please call Ruby Buesing. 830-857-6633

You may have noticed, a new Learn To Dance page has been added to the left side menu.  It lists all the upcoming lesson opportunities where new students will be accepted (as opposed to lessons being once they are closed).

A calendar sub-menu is there too if that view is preferable and past events can be seen on it.  

It's been a long time in coming, but should prove to be a great resource for bringing in new participants.

The Officers page has been updated for 2018-2019, including photos.  Check out who all makes the ASRDA go.

I apologize to the clubs I unintentionally left off the “Beginner Square Dance Lessons” list.  The corrected and final version of the list is attached.  You will notice that some San Antonio clubs have been listed along with those in ASRDA. I believe it is better just to get people dancing rather than worry about where they take lessons.  The more all the clubs work together, the better chance we have of recruiting new dancers.  Also, maybe a potential dancer in Austin has friends in San Antonio who want to learn.  Bingo – they send them the list.

I will have the list available at the “Barn Dance” Wheel-N-Deals is sponsoring on August 24th.  Dancers will be encouraged to take copies and share them with their friends.  I will also have the lists available at the Home Schooler’s “Sign Up” meeting this coming Thursday, August 9th, where the families browse activities for their kids.  I will be there to answer any questions the kids or parents may have.   As soon as I can figure out how to share the list on social media, I will be doing that as well.  Feel free to copy and share the list with as many potential square dancers as you can.

I hope to see many of you at the “New Old Time Barn Dance” on Friday, 24 August at City Park Rec Hall in San Marcos.
