PRESIDENT’S NOTE:
This is my first official communication as ASC President. Each board has its own method of operations, so there are a few changes occurring as the new board takes office. I will be running the Club and Sig Harder will be managing the dances for us. It will be a learning and hopefully rewarding experience for me. I want to thank everyone in advance for all their help, devotion, and support they will be giving me and the club. Let’s hope that our new year will be a great success. I hope that the same courtesy and cooperation will be extended to the new incoming board. Keep on Dancing (it is very good exercise)!! Get your friends involved with your play night!! Diane McIntyre, President
