ASRDA News

Fraudulent emails are being circulated again.

Both Chet M. and Dan C. received an "email" supposedly from me asking for folks to buy gift cards. It is not even my email address.

Would you be able to send out a quick email to everyone in ASRDA and tell them to ignore and delete it?

Thanks!

Brooke

Here is an excerpt:

How are you today? I need your Assistance, are you available? I'm out of town. Can you please handle this for me on behalf of the association. Austin Square and Round Dance Association .needs Gift cards for donation to Veterans Hospice care unit across the community. Kindly confirm if you can help out?
 
Brooke Peters,
President.

If you received an email like this claiming to be from me, ignore and delete it.Thanks!

At the close of December, each club should send me a list of any new members and students. This is used for the ASRDA membership list as well as to update the State insurance coverage. This is a no-charge, mid-year benefit.

For updates, any format is ok. Send to pdxtdbear@gmail.com

The next ASRDA delegate meeting will be on 9 November 2019 1- 3 pm.  From 3 - 4 the Mid-Tex and Conclave meetings will take place.  The Teen Scholarship dance starts at 5 pm.  The meeting will be at our usual location, Hyde Park Christian Church, 610 East 45th Street, Austin, TX.

There is NO delegate meeting this coming Saturday 5 October.  I am encouraging all dancers to support Come-N-Take-It and go dance in the square in Gonzales at 6 pm.  There is a potluck following the dance at 7 pm.  Call Ruby Buesing for more details at 830-857-6633.

If you are closer to San Antonio, you can participate in "Night in Old Converse" where there will be a demo dance and audience participation from 4:30 - 5:30 pm on 5 October..  Wear your square dance badge and you can get into the festival for free.  If you have more questions about this event, call Brooke at 210-392-5433.

I hope to see you all at the delegate meeting on 9 November!

Brooke
President, ASRDA

The Teen Scholarship Dance was rescheduled from Oct 5 to Nov 9.  While changed on the web site, the old information was accidentally included in ASRDA Events email distributed this morning.  

Please ignore that event listing, but please do plan to attend the correct one: 
ASRDA's Annual Teen Scholarship Dance

Here is the link to the interview that Shirley Myers, Steve O'Neal and I did a few weeks ago on Fox San Antonio.

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

A new article about the ASRDA has been added to the Information Center.  

While there, you'll also notice the Constitution and Bylaws and information on Federation Gold, and Friendship Badges are there too.

Great Dance!

Thanks to all of you that were able to make the meeting. We added two new clubs.

Double thanks to all of you that helped with the dance and store!!! Extra thanks to John and Charlotte for the great southern hospitality.

Triple thanks to Robert and Paula Miller for collecting and selling the square dance clothes. Really big job.

We had a great turn out with over 9 squares. Everyone seemed to have a great time.

We made over $1,700 for the teen scholarships.

Thanks to Brad Caldwell and Bob and Kay 'Ski you made it all fun!
