Saturday caller Mike Bramlett started off the morning with an A dance workshop. Then early afternoon cuers Bob & Kay Kurczewski held a round dance workshop followed by Mike holding a square dance workshop. Then more dancing Saturday evening. Everyone had a fantastic time.

As a reminder, all clubs are asked to support MidTex in three specific ways:

1) Encourage all your members to pre-register and attend.
2) Help with refreshments by bringing cookies and a bag of salty snacks on Friday evening
3) Bring $100 to $150 in gift cards ($25 increments are fine) on Friday evening. We will bundle the gift cards into bundles of $250 to $300 to be door prizes. We will do this instead of having split the pots each night.

This is a reminder that each year the members clubs of ASRDA are asked to help with the success of the MidTex festival. This assistance comes in three forms:

1) Encourage all your members to register and attend the MidTex festival.
2) Provide assistance with refreshments. This year each club is asked to bring 2 – 3 dozen cookies and one large bag of a salty snack such as chips.
3) Provide gift cards or a gift basket. The gift cards are combined with other gift cards into 2-3 bundles and are raffled off; and the gift baskets are sold by silent auction.

Please spread the word to your clubs and bring yourselves and Meet at the River on Friday May 1 and Saturday May 2 in San Marcos.
